I am not sure if I considered praying without being pure permissible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">I was not aware that either of these could be considered as kufr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Some of these instances may have been after my marriage, some before having kids. Having repented, I keep thinking what if I committed kufr, especially because of point number 2, what impact this action has on the state of my nikah and validity of kids? Should I repeat nikah?
