Prioritizing Making the Mosque Ṭāhir and Paying a Creditor over Praying
Issue No.693- If one comes to know that the mosque has become najis, it is better that he make the mosque ṭāhir first and then offer prayer. Similarly, if his creditor demands repayment of his loan from him, he should repay the loan first, if possible, and then offer the prayer. If the prayer and its preliminaries take a lot of time, it is obligatory that he first make the mosque ṭāhir and repay his loan and then offer the prayer. If he offers his prayer first, he has committed a sin, but his prayer is in order. However, if the time left for prayer is short, he should offer the prayer first.
