قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

وجوب نماز در همه حال

طبق روایات؛ اصل نماز در هیچ حالتی ساقط نمی‌شود؛ اما کیفیت ادای آن ممکن است تغییر کند. این آیه اشاره دارد که در زمان جنگ و نظایر آن که چیزی باعث ترس و مانع نماز خواندن به صورت عادی می‌شود» باید در حالت پیاده یا سواره نماز خواند. امام کاظم(ع) در پاسخ به این سوّال که اگر شخصی گرفتار حیوان درنده‌ای شود و وقت نماز فرا رسد و از ترس آن درنده نتواند حرکت کندء چگونه نماز بخواند؟ فرمودند: «با همان وضعی که دارد. باید نماز را بخواند؛ هر چند پشت به قبله باشد. رکوع و سجود را با اشاره. در حالی که ایستاده است. انجام دهد.» این نمازء همان نماز خوف است که فقها به طور مشروح دربارةٌ آن بحث کرده‌اند. بنابر این» محافظت بر نمازء به وجود یا عدم وجود امنیت بستگی نداردء بلکه در همه حال باید نماز را به جا آورد.
