Washing the impurity of the pig seven times and the stronger analogy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Since acts of worship are based on divine text, why is the impurity of the pig washed seven times? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not establish that there is a difference between the dog and the pig.
The Shaykh:
The chapter on analogy, specifically the stronger analogy, which they call the analogy of the obvious. There is no disagreement among scholars on this; if the dog is washed seven times, then the pig is even more so. And regarding His saying, the Exalted, "So do not say to him, 'O foolish one,'" they said: This indicates that striking is forbidden, even more so. This is called the obvious analogy, and there is no disagreement among the people of knowledge, even the Zahiris affirm it.
