The ruling on istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) with water and istijmar (cleaning with stones)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon His Prophet. From the chapter of the Shaykh, the clear one, who is an imam of what Allah does not deserve, it is sufficient for istinja' with water. As for the performance and regarding this, his companions, then this topic is an imam.
Answer:
Yes, among the scholars, other than Malik, there are those who deny istinja' with water. They say that it involves touching the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) and touching ritual impurity. It was known among the Arabs, and in Islam, that they used stones for istijmar and did not touch their 'awrah. This was the known practice in Makkah. It was known among the Muhajireen (emigrants) from the people of Makkah to use istijmar. They only became accustomed to istinja' when they came to Madinah. Istinja' was practiced in Madinah because they were neighbors of the Jews, and the Jews used istinja'. This was known in Madinah, among the people of Madinah.
And what the evidence indicates is the permissibility of both: istinja' with water and istijmar with stones. Both are established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and there is no evidence for those who prohibited it. As for the fact that it involves touching ritual impurity or the 'awrah, that is for the sake of necessity. It is permissible to touch ritual impurity for the sake of necessity and to remove it and kill it. This is for necessity. One is only prohibited from touching the 'awrah or touching ritual impurity when there is no necessity. And as long as this is established in the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), no one has a say. Yes.
