The impurity of what exits the body and the operative cause for invalidating wudu' with it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The issue raised by the Shaykh (may Allah preserve you) is that the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) state that the excrement is impure, and this is due to its transformation. Is there any evidence other than this transformation? And what is the correct view regarding the verse?
The Shaykh:
And the excrement is excrement, and the excrement is excrement. Since the excrement has been transformed from food, it has become impure. Both of them exit from the body cavity: the excrement and the urine. Both exit from the body cavity and the stomach. So this is a matter of analogical reasoning (qiyas), the analogical reasoning based on the excrement. Yes. And what is the correct view? The correct view is that the excrement invalidates the wudu'. Likewise, if a person intentionally passes the excrement, and he is the one who claims so, his claim is accepted. However, if he did not intend it and the excrement came out without his intention, this does not affect the standing in prayer.
