Combining the Hadiths on Ablution from What Has Touched Fire
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, al-San'ani (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his explanation of Jabir's hadith that our Lord, may Allah be able to say, perhaps we can say that it is seen
Answer:
Yes, in the hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ablution at first from everything that had touched fire. Then that was abrogated by his leaving off ablution from what had touched fire upon his death. So this latter ruling abrogates the former. This is the answer. A second answer is that the ablution referred to here is ablution in the linguistic sense, which is washing the hands for cleanliness only. But this is contrary to the apparent meaning. The correct answer is that this was the case at first, and then it was abrogated. This is the correct position.
