What is the status of the Salaat of a man who wears an earring in one of his ears whilst performing Salaat?

Answer

While the Salaat will be valid, all the reward is eliminated and the male with the earring is accursed according to the Hadith. It is haraam for males to wear earrings and the like. His decrepit Salaat is struck onto his face from the heavens as if it is an old dirty cloth. Despite the technical validity of the Salaat, it is incumbent that he removes the earring of shaitaan and repeats his Salaat.
