From this verse some jurisprudential commandments can be deduced and derived by reasoning as follows:

      1- NO PRAYER IN THE STATE OF DRUNKENNESS- It is evident that the prayer is the earnest request to God, or the offering of adoration, confession, supplication, or thanks giving to our Lord. We therefore should collect our mind and heart, and approach God in a spirit of reverence, and feeling of deep respect. If so, how can we do that, if we are drunken and intoxicated?

The Arabic `SOKARÄ' translate here to drunken may refer either to a state of intoxication, or to a dazed state of mind through drowsiness or some other causes.

      2- NO PRAYER IN A STATE OF SEXUAL DEFILEMENT - This commandment has an exception of being a traveller and having no access to water, or being sick, so that washing might be harmful for the body. Then on condition of doing what is termed `TAYAMMUM' as undermentioned, one may perform his prayer.

      3- The permit for performing the prayer, or going to a place of prayer, such as the mosque is issued after the performance of a total ablution, which is washing your body in a certain manner, which is technically named GHOSL = ABLUTION.

      4- TAYAMMUM, (TOUCHING THE EARTH) for those who are excused of washing their whole body - these excluded ones are:

      A- A man or woman who is sick or wounded for whom washing is harmful.

      B- In circumstances wherein water for ablution cannot be obtained, such as being on a journey.

      This is because a man who is sick or wounded cannot walk out far in search of water or the water might be harmful to his wounds and sickness. So is a traveller who has no control over his supplies and his condition; and may get no access to water. In all these cases touching the clean earth or soil or performance of TAYAMMUM is recommended thus: you touch clean dust, soil, sand, or earth with both palms of your hands, and then wipe your face with the soiled hand. Once again you touch your palms upon the soil and wipe the back of your right hand with the palm of left hand, and then the back of left hand with the palm of right hand.
