How to say “being ritually impure” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَهَلْ يَتْرُكُ الصَّلَاةَ مُحْدَثًا إِلَّا وَهُوَ الرَّذَالَةُ الزَّبَّالَةُ ،
And who would abandon the prayer while ritually impure, except that he is base and filthy?
مُحْدَثًا — being ritually impure. This word describes the circumstance the subject is in while doing the action, a 'state' word answering 'in what condition?'. It takes the object-style (accusative) ending precisely to mark this background-condition role, telling you he abandons the prayer while in a state of ritual impurity, not that impurity is itself the object.
