If one who drank more than a revi'it (shikor — drunk) prayed, is the prayer valid?
Synopsis
One who is fully drunk (shikor) — defined as unable to speak before a king — and prayed has committed a grave offense. The Mechaber rules the prayer is an abomination (to'evah) and must be repeated. Acharonim discuss the severity and whether it parallels idolatry.
