The Ruling on Cleaning Oneself with Bones and Dung
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
...dung. It was narrated by Ahmad, Muslim, and Abu Dawud. And from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from cleaning ourselves with dung or bones, and said that they do not purify. It was narrated by al-Daraqutni, and he said its chain of narration is authentic.
The Shaykh:
All of this has been mentioned previously. There is no harm in cleaning oneself with anything other than bones and dung. As for bones and dung, one does not clean oneself with them. Cleaning oneself purifies, but one does not clean oneself with bones or dung. One cleans oneself with other things, such as stones, leather, rough cloths, and the like, and these purify, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained. Yes.
