0:00 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

0:04 The Senior Scholars Project in Kuwait is pleased,

0:07 in cooperation with the Foundation of Sheikh 'Abd al-'Aziz Ibn Baz,

0:12 may Allah have mercy on him,

0:14 to present to you

0:16 the Juristic Selections

0:21 on Issues of Acts of Worship and Transactions,

0:26 from the fatwas of the eminent scholar and Imam,

0:30 'Abd al-'Aziz Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Baz,

0:33 may Allah have mercy on him,

0:35 compiled and arranged by Sheikh

0:38 Khalid Ibn Sa'ud Ibn 'Amir al-'Ajmi.

0:41 The Book of Purification.

0:45 Chapter on Liquids.

0:47 The eminent scholar Imam Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

0:54 Absolute water is divided into two categories:

0:56 purifying and impure.

0:58 The hadith: "Indeed, water is pure, nothing makes it impure,"

1:03 was reported by Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud,

1:06 and al-Nasa'i with an authentic chain of transmission.

1:09 The default state for all water is purity,

1:12 except that which is known to have become impure.

1:15 Whatever falls into water, such as beverage liquids, fallen leaves, or the like,

1:21 does not render it impure

1:23 and does not strip it of its purifying quality,

1:26 as long as the name of water still applies to it.

1:29 If the name of the water changes into another substance due to what has mixed with it,

1:33 such as milk, coffee, tea, and the like,

1:37 it ceases to be called water in an unqualified sense,

1:40 and it is no longer termed simply water;

1:42 however, it remains intrinsically pure despite this mixture,

1:47 and it does not become impure thereby.

1:49 Restricted water,

1:51 such as rose water, grape juice, or pomegranate juice,

1:55 is termed pure,

1:57 but it is not termed purifying,

2:00 and purification from ritual impurities and filth cannot be achieved with it.

2:04 Water that is less than two large jars (qullatayn)

2:08 does not become impure unless its characteristics change,

2:10 just like water that has reached two large jars.

2:13 A Point of Benefit:

2:16 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, mentioned the two large jars

2:20 only to indicate that amounts less than that require verification, scrutiny, and careful attention;

2:26 it is not because it becomes impure in an absolute sense.

2:29 A very small quantity of water is usually affected by impurity;

2:34 thus, it should be poured out and avoided,

2:38 even if no visible trace of the impurity appears in it,

2:41 as it is likely corrupted thereby

2:43 and it is not permissible to use it.

2:47 A pond of water muddied with silt and some vegetation

2:51 is permissible to perform ablution with,

2:53 to bathe with,

2:54 and to drink from,

2:56 because the name of water still applies to it,

2:58 and it remains purifying thereby;

3:00 the soil and vegetation that fall into it do not strip it of its purifying status.

3:06 If the pool is protected from impurities

3:10 and has merely changed due to remaining stagnant for a long time,

3:13 that causes no harm.

3:15 Water gathered in a vessel from the limbs of a person performing ablution or ritual bathing

3:22 is considered pure.

3:24 Scholars have differed regarding its purifying capacity:

3:27 is it purifying, such that ablution and bathing may be performed with it,

3:31 or is it merely pure,

3:33 like restricted water,

3:35 such as pomegranate juice, grape juice, and the like?

3:39 The more correct view is that it is purifying,

3:41 due to the generality of the saying of the Prophet, peace be upon him:

3:45 "Indeed, water is pure, nothing makes it impure,"

3:49 and nothing is excluded from that

3:51 except water whose color, taste, or odor has changed due to an impurity;

3:56 for if it changes because of that,

3:58 it becomes impure by consensus.

4:01 However, refraining from performing ablution with such used water

4:05 is preferable and more prudent,

4:07 in order to avoid juristic disagreement

4:09 and because of whatever dirt might have fallen into it from the ablution or bathing.

4:15 What is meant by ablution (wudu')

4:17 is washing the limbs of ablution, starting with the face and what follows it.

4:21 The scholars are in unanimous agreement that water,

4:24 if its taste, color, or odor changes due to an impurity,

4:28 is impure.

4:30 There is no harm in drinking from water

4:33 from which livestock have drunk, such as camels, cattle, or sheep,

4:38 because they are good and lawful.

4:41 Likewise, if donkeys and mules drink from it,

4:44 they do not render the water harmful,

4:47 and the water remains purifying.

4:49 Predatory animals,

4:50 such as leopards, lions, and wolves:

4:53 if they drink from water,

4:55 then if it is a small amount, it should be discarded,

4:57 just as in the case of a dog's leftover;

4:59 but if it is a large body of water,

5:01 such as reservoirs and places with abundant water,

5:05 their drinking from it does not harm it.

5:08 It is not permissible to perform ablution with petroleum (oil),

5:12 because it is not water in the Islamic legal sense,

5:15 nor is it called water,

5:17 and it is not encompassed by that definition.

5:19 Water that undergoes a change due to pure substances

5:23 or medications that are put into it

5:25 to prevent harm to people,

5:28 while the designation of water still remains intact,

5:31 causes no harm,

5:33 even if some slight change occurs because of that.

5:36 A slight change caused by a pure substance,

5:39 such as soap or the like,

5:41 does not harm its purifying status.

5:44 Performing ablution with water that has the odor of gas,

5:47 or other odors that are not impure,

5:51 does not harm its purity.

5:52 Performing ritual bathing or ablution with water altered by rust

5:57 does not harm its purity.

5:59 The Juristic Selections.
