f:499 -    What if cap falls while offering Salaat
Country : India,
Name : Abdul Ghani
Question:     If our cap falls while offering Salaat, can we pick it up and wear it again?
............................................................................
Answer:     If the cap falls while offering Salaat, then it can be re-worn with one hand, but it should end becoming Amal-e-Katheer (excessive actions), as with Amal-e-Katheer, the Salaat is invalidated (Fasid).  The Jurists (Fuqaha) have described 3 definitions of this:

1.  Doing anything which is normally done with 2 hands.

2.  Doing something that will make an onlooker from afar think that this person is not in Salaat.

3.  The person offering Salaat himself/herself thinks it to be Amal-e-Katheer.

And Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) knows best.
