Washing the hands from night sleep while wearing trousers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. You mentioned that the operative cause in the hadith regarding washing the hands before dipping them in the vessel from night sleep is explicit, and that is his statement: "One does not know where his hand spent the night." So now, with the presence of trousers and the like, and also if one is certain that they did not pass over any impurity by tying them in a bag, is it still obligatory to wash the hands?
Answer:
This is the apparent meaning of the hadith. The apparent meaning of the hadith is that you wash your hands absolutely. Your saying "a bag" or "trousers" is from yourself; it has no legal ruling in the Shari'ah. Yes.
