The Ruling on Bathing in Stagnant Water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
First.

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is important. The default is that there is no abrogation of the ruling regarding the hands. Combining the texts is the correct approach. The rule among the scholars is that when two texts conflict, they must be combined, unless the conditions for abrogation are not met.

The presenter:
I seek forgiveness from Allah the Great. Is it said that the act…

The Shaykh:
This is in the explanation of permissibility.

The presenter:
Why would I tell you it is disliked?

The Shaykh:
It is an explanation of permissibility, but doing it is disliked; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited it, and this is found between the texts. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. If one takes water to bathe in.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The presenter:
If one takes water, taking from stagnant water to bathe in.

The Shaykh:
You look at it without the urine. The urine that is prohibited, and the washing that is prohibited, both are prohibited, both of them.

The presenter:
Old and new.

The Shaykh:
Hmm.

The presenter:
Basins. Meaning, whether it is present or old.

The Shaykh:
What?

The presenter:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Of course, the basin is prohibited, and it is not old? The water. If it is stagnant, meaning it does not flow, whether it was poured in and poured out and circulated in the middle, or poured in, or connected to it, or connected to it without being poured in, the meaning is the same. Absolutely, the generality covers it.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Does it remove major ritual impurity or does it not remove major ritual impurity? Yes. In stagnant water.

The Shaykh:
Hmm. Does it remove major ritual impurity, O Shaykh? I mean this washing, I mean from one who performed it and bathed in stagnant water? The default regarding prohibition is the invalidation of the prohibited act. Prohibition implies defectiveness. This is a principle regarding prohibition among the scholars. Prohibition implies defectiveness, the defectiveness of the prohibited act.

The presenter:
But if you ask about it for cooling off, if you ask about it for cooling off, there is no harm.

The Shaykh:
No, leaving it is better. Meaning, if it is for hunger with need, then refraining from the redness is better, because he is able to manage the people.

The presenter:
What, if Allah wills?

The Shaykh:
What Allah willed, your life. Yes. Yes. The blessing, the blessing in the farms changes their necks every six or seven days. And it is called permanent water, it is called permanent water, meaning in the dead water. It is not scooped, it is scooped from it, and praise be to Allah, he makes his jug and scoops.

The presenter:
Of course, the flowing, meaning the Azhari.

The Shaykh:
It is scooped from it and revealed.

The presenter:
If this pool was prepared for swimming.

The Shaykh:
The speech of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) takes precedence over them.
