The full ritual bath that suffices for removing minor ritual impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Does the full ritual bath that suffices remove minor ritual impurity if one is not in a state of major ritual impurity? And is it required to include gargling and sniffing water into the nose?
The Shaykh:
In what respect?
The questioner:
The full ritual bath removes minor ritual impurity if one does not have major ritual impurity.
The Shaykh:
If he intends it, yes, it is removed, even if it is a full ritual bath that suffices. If he intends it and begins the bath, the minor impurity is removed. As for gargling and sniffing water into the nose, they are required in both states of impurity: in major ritual impurity and in minor ritual impurity, and in the ablution for prayer. This is because they are part of the exterior of the body, so they are required in both states of impurity.
