Wearing clothes soiled with alcohol and performing salaah

Q:

1. If beer, wine, alcohol touches my clothes, does it make them impure?

2. Is the prayer accepted while wearing such clothing?

A:

1. Yes. You should wash the soiled area and thereafter perform salaah.

2. If the impurity is more than the inner circumference of the palm, the salaah will not be valid and will have to be repeated.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
