Places Where Prayer is Permissible and Where it is Not Permissible
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «عَشَرَةُ مَوَاضِعَ لاَ يُصَلَّى فِيهَا اَلطِّينُ وَ اَلْمَاءُ وَ اَلْحَمَّامُ وَ اَلْقُبُورُ وَ مَسَانُّ اَلطَّرِيقِ وَ قُرَى اَلنَّمْلِ وَ مَعَاطِنُ اَلْإِبِلِ وَ مَجْرَى اَلْمَاءِ، وَ اَلسَّبَخَةُ وَ اَلثَّلْجُ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "There are ten places where prayer should not be performed: mud, water, baths, graves, paths frequently used by travelers, ant hills, camel resting places, watercourses, salty land (sabkha), and snow”.
