Versetto: 43

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَقۡرَبُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَنتُمۡ سُكَٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَعۡلَمُواْ مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلَا جُنُبًا إِلَّا عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ حَتَّىٰ تَغۡتَسِلُواْۚ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرۡضَىٰٓ أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوۡ جَآءَ أَحَدٞ مِّنكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡغَآئِطِ أَوۡ لَٰمَسۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَلَمۡ تَجِدُواْ مَآءٗ فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدٗا طَيِّبٗا فَٱمۡسَحُواْ بِوُجُوهِكُمۡ وَأَيۡدِيكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا

43. O believers, approach not the prayer when you are in a state of drunkenness until you know (well) what you say21, nor when you are ritually unclean, (through the emission of semen, or sexual discharge) until after you have taken bath- unless (you are only) passing through 'a prayer place'. If you are sick, or on a journey, or one of you have defecated, or you have touched women22, and you cannot find water, then purify yourselves with clean soil and wipe your faces and your hands with it. Indeed, Allāh is All-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.

21. See Q 5:90 regarding the later total prohibition of drinking alcohol.
22. I.e., had carnal relations.
