The Senior Scholars Project in Kuwait is pleased,
0:07
in cooperation with the Foundation of Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz Ibn Baz,
0:12
may Allah have mercy on him,
0:14
to present to you
0:16
"The Fiqh Choices
0:21
in Matters of Worship and Transactions"
0:25
from the fatwas of the eminent scholar and Imam,
0:30
'Abd al-'Aziz Ibn 'Abd Allah Ibn Baz,
0:33
may Allah have mercy on him,
0:35
compiled and arranged by Shaykh
0:38
Khalid Ibn Sa'ud Ibn 'Amir al-'Ajmi.
0:41
The Book of Purification:
0:45
Chapter on Ghusl (Ritual Bath).
0:47
The eminent Imam Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
0:54
Performing ghusl on Friday is an emphasized Sunnah.
0:59
Ghusl after cupping (hijamah),
1:01
and ghusl after washing a deceased person,
1:03
are both recommended acts of purification.
1:06
As for his saying, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:
1:09
"Friday ghusl is obligatory upon every adult,"
1:12
its meaning, according to the majority of the people of knowledge, is that it is highly emphasized,
1:16
just as the Arabs say:
1:18
"A promise is a debt,"
1:20
and "Your right upon me is an obligation."
1:22
This meaning is evidenced by
1:24
his sufficiency, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
1:27
with wudu in some hadiths.
1:30
Applying perfume, using the siwak,
1:32
wearing fine clothes,
1:34
and going early to the Friday prayer,
1:36
are all among the strongly encouraged Sunnahs,
1:39
and none of them is obligatory.
1:43
The assertion of some people
1:45
that when performing ghusl it is obligatory
1:47
for a person to face the qiblah
1:49
is incorrect.
1:51
Whoever performs ghusl to remove major ritual impurity (janabah) on Friday,
1:54
that suffices him in place of the Friday ghusl;
1:57
however, it is preferable to intend both of them together when bathing.
2:01
The Sunnah ghusl for Friday is not validly attained
2:04
unless it is performed after the break of dawn.
2:08
It is best that one's ghusl be performed when setting out
2:11
to the Friday prayer,
2:13
because that is most complete for energy and cleanliness.
2:17
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
2:20
when he had intimacy with his wife,
2:22
used to wash his private parts and perform wudu,
2:24
and then go to sleep, peace and blessings be upon him;
2:27
sometimes he would perform ghusl before that.
2:29
If he performed ghusl, that was more complete,
2:32
but if he slept and then performed ghusl at the end of the night, there was no harm in that.
2:36
However, sleeping without wudu and without ghusl
2:39
is disliked (makruh).
2:41
Ghusl from janabah, menstruation, or post-natal bleeding
2:45
suffices for wudu
2:47
if the person bathing intends purification from both the minor and major ritual impurities.
2:50
Yet it is preferable to clean the private parts (istinja'),
2:53
then perform wudu, and then complete the ghusl,
2:56
following the example of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
3:00
But if one only intends the major ritual impurity,
3:03
then what is appropriate is that one must perform wudu.
3:06
If one touches the private parts during ghusl from major ritual impurity,
3:11
one must repeat the wudu.
3:14
If the ghusl is for Friday, or for cooling off and general cleanliness,
3:18
it does not suffice for wudu, even if one intends that,
3:22
due to the lack of prescribed sequence (tartib),
3:24
which is an obligatory element of wudu,
3:26
and because there is no major purification here under which minor purification could be subsumed by intention;
3:32
rather, one must perform wudu either before or after it.
3:36
Whoever relies solely on the Friday ghusl without performing wudu
3:40
must repeat the prayer as Zuhr,
3:43
because the Friday ghusl does not suffice for wudu.
3:47
A recommended ghusl does not suffice for wudu even if intended,
3:52
unless one observes the proper sequence;
3:54
meaning, one performs wudu while bathing, adhering to both the sequence and the intention.
3:59
If eggs, wheat, lemon, or the like are added to shampoo,
4:04
they become unfit for consumption,
4:06
so there is no harm in washing with them in bathrooms.
4:09
Ghusl is not obligatory for someone who has a wet dream
4:12
unless they find wetness, which is seminal fluid (maniy),
4:16
because of the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him:
4:19
"Water is from water,"
4:21
meaning that the water of ghusl is required due to the fluid of semen,
4:25
and this, according to the people of knowledge, applies to one who has a wet dream.
4:29
Whoever has sexual intercourse with his wife is obliged to perform ghusl,
4:32
even if no emission occurs.
4:36
The hadith: "Whoever washes a deceased person, let him perform ghusl,
4:39
and whoever carries him, let him perform wudu," is weak.
4:42
However, it has been established from the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, in other hadiths,
4:47
that which indicates the recommendation of ghusl after washing a deceased person.
4:51
As for carrying the deceased, nothing authentic has been reported regarding wudu after it,
4:55
and wudu is not recommended after carrying a bier,
4:58
due to the lack of evidence for it.
5:01
If washing the head during ghusl from janabah or menstruation would cause harm,
5:05
it suffices to wipe over it along with performing tayammum.
5:08
If there is a medicated plaster on the back or flank of a person in a state of janabah,
5:12
or a splint, passing wet hands or water over it suffices,
5:16
and there is no need to remove it;
5:19
rather, whenever water is passed over it, that is sufficient until Allah grants healing,
5:24
and he is not required to perform tayammum; rather, passing water over it suffices.
5:29
If a woman pours three handfuls of water over her head for ghusl from janabah,
5:35
that is sufficient for her,
5:37
and there is no need for her to undo her braids.
5:40
Merely running damp fingers through the hair of the head
5:46
without pouring water is not sufficient;
5:49
water must be poured, even if only once,
5:52
though the Sunnah is to do so three times.
5:54
It has reached us that some women become pure after the break of dawn,
5:59
or before dawn,
6:01
yet delay performing ghusl until after sunrise,
6:05
claiming they wish to perform a more complete, cleaner, and thorough bath.
6:10
This is an error,
6:12
neither permissible in Ramadan nor at any other time,
6:15
because it is obligatory upon her to hasten and perform ghusl in order to perform the prayer on time.
6:21
Whoever wakes up shortly before sunrise in a state of janabah,
6:25
not having prayed Fajr yet,
6:27
must perform ghusl, complete their purification, and then pray;
6:32
they are not permitted to perform tayammum under the pretext of catching the prayer time.
6:36
A man is permitted to have intercourse with his wife more than once without performing ghusl between the two acts,
6:43
though performing ghusl is better.
6:45
The Sunnah is that if he wishes to repeat intercourse without performing ghusl,
6:50
he should perform wudu like that for prayer.
6:52
Traditions have also been reported indicating the permissibility of omitting wudu as well.
6:57
It is recommended for a woman performing ghusl from menstruation or post-natal bleeding
7:01
to bathe using water and sidr (lotus leaves);
7:03
this is what is preferable.
7:05
As for one in a state of janabah, they do not need sidr,
7:08
and plain water suffices.
7:10
Pouring water and making it reach the entire body in ghusl from janabah, menstruation, or post-natal bleeding
7:17
suffices without rubbing the body with the hands, due to the generality of the verses and hadiths on this.
7:23
If seminal fluid is discharged after performing ghusl,
7:26
one is not required to repeat the ghusl;
7:28
rather, one only needs to repeat istinja' and wudu,
7:32
because the emission of semen without sexual desire does not necessitate ghusl.
7:37
If water is scarce,
7:39
and one is unable to complete ghusl with it,
7:42
one performs wudu like that for prayer and performs tayammum for the remainder.
7:46
If a person is in a place where there is only a little water that is insufficient for a full ghusl,
7:53
he washes whatever part of his body he can with it,
7:56
and then performs tayammum for the rest.
7:59
Whoever is unable to perform wudu,
8:02
nor ghusl from janabah, nor tayammum with clean earth,
8:06
prays in whatever state he is in;
8:08
his prayer is valid, and he does not have to make it up.
8:12
If a menstruating woman performs ghusl after attaining purity from menses,
8:17
and then experiences some discharge after purification:
8:20
if the discharge is yellowish or brownish,
8:24
it is not counted as anything,
8:26
but rather takes the ruling of urine;
8:29
whereas if it is overt blood,
8:31
it is considered part of the menses,
8:33
and she must repeat the ghusl once it ceases.
8:37
The body of a person in a state of janabah is pure,
8:39
and likewise, seminal fluid is pure.
8:42
It is permissible for a person in janabah, before bathing,
8:44
to touch items such as clothes, dishes, pots, and the like,
8:49
because he is not impure.
8:51
There is no harm in a person in janabah clipping their nails
8:56
or cutting some of their hair
8:58
if there is a need to do so before performing ghusl.
9:02
There is no harm in a woman breastfeeding her child while in a state of janabah.
9:07
There is no harm in delaying ghusl for janabah without an excuse,
9:11
as long as the time for prayer has not arrived;
9:14
but once the prayer time arrives, ghusl becomes mandatory.
9:17
It has been confirmed in the two Sahihs from the hadith of Hudhayfah and Abu Hurayrah
9:22
that they met the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
9:25
and then slipped away from him.
9:27
He said to them, "What was the matter with you?"
9:30
They replied,
9:31
"We were in a state of janabah,
9:33
and we disliked sitting with you while we were not in a state of purity."
9:37
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
9:40
"A Muslim does not become impure."
9:42
And he did not disapprove of their remaining in a state of ritual impurity.
9:47
What we advise is that hastening to perform ghusl is commendable;
9:52
if one hastens, it is good,
9:54
but it is not obligatory upon him.
9:56
A person may have an impediment,
9:58
going out to the marketplace to purchase a needed item or the like,
10:02
so there is no harm in that.
10:04
Hastening is only obligatory upon him when an obligation requiring purity arrives.
