Wearing braces does not affect the validity of wu\u1e0d\u016b&#39; (ablution) or ghusl (ritual bath), and therefore it does not affect the validity of \u1e62al\u0101h (prayer), \u02bbUmrah, or \u1e24ajj, even though the clips may prevent water from reaching every part of the teeth. This is because if a part of the body is generally required to be washed for wu\u1e0d\u016b&#39; or ghusl, but it needs to be covered for a reasonable need, wu\u1e0d\u016b&#39; or ghusl will still be valid (Raddu al-Mu\u1e25t\u0101r, 1\/54) even if the water is unable to reach it. You are not required to wash under the clips of the braces as this would create potential hardship or harm, and therefore you may pass water only over the clips.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a>All\u0101h says: &quot;He [i.e. All\u0101h] has chosen you, and He has not placed upon you any difficulty in the religion&#8221; (Qur&#8217;\u0101n, 22:78). He also says: &#8220;All\u0101h does not burden a[ny] soul except that which it can bear&quot; (Qur&#39;\u0101n, 2:286). He also says: &quot;All\u0101h intends for you ease and he does not intend for you hardship&quot; (Qur&#39;\u0101n, 2:185). From these verses, the scholars of Isl\u0101mic law have established the principle: &quot;Hardship begets ease&quot;.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Only Allah knows best<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Written by Shaykh Umer Khan<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 03111 Answered by:&nbsp;Shaykh Umer Khan\u200b Question: I have braces (clips) on my teeth.
