The Intention in Removing Impurity from the Two Passages
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner says: Regarding the removal of impurity from the two passages, is an intention required for me to perform wudu, or not?
The Shaykh:
The removal of all impurities does not require an intention, because it falls under the category of omissions. If the impurity is removed by itself or by something that removes it, then that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says:
The Shaykh:
Therefore, if there is impurity on the ground and a flood comes and passes over it, it becomes pure, even though you did not wash it or strike it, but the flood purified it. The removal of the impurity purifies the ground. Yes, they even said that if the sun shines and removes the smell and removes the trace, it purifies, and the wind also purifies. Yes.
