Discharge of moisture during ihram on the Day of 'Arafah and the validity of Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Another person says: I asked this question in a previous seminar, and we hope for a comprehensive answer. He says: I entered the state of ihram on the Day of 'Arafah, and I found moisture in my ihram. I did not know whether it was from me or from a bedbug. I went to 'Arafah. What is the ruling on Hajj in general? What is the correct ruling regarding the departure (ifadhah) and the farewell circumambulation (tawaf al-wada')? And what is the ruling on the prayer?
The Shaykh:
The Hajj is valid, and the tawaf is valid, as long as you washed your private parts, performed wudu, and performed wudu for the prayer. Praise be to Allah. The default is soundness, unless you know with certainty that it was semen. In that case, you must perform ghusl before you pray. This applies to 'Asr in 'Arafah, and Maghrib and 'Isha' in Muzdalifah. However, as long as you are in doubt about what it was, the default is soundness. Yes. And my father, may Allah protect us from that. If it was truly a sin and he did not do that, and he completed his Hajj.
His Hajj is valid, but his Hajj is valid [meaning] he must repeat the prayers; because purity is not a condition for the standing (wuquf) at 'Arafah. So the one who stands at 'Arafah while in a state of janabah is like a menstruating or postpartum woman. She stands at 'Arafah while menstruating or postpartum, and her Hajj is valid. But the postpartum woman does not perform tawaf until she performs wudu, and the one in a state of janabah does not perform tawaf until he performs ghusl, and the menstruating woman does not perform tawaf until she performs ghusl and her menstruation ends. Yes.
