The Ruling on Cleaning Oneself from Passing Wind
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Cleaning oneself after relieving oneself is a necessity of the full ritual bath and a necessity of the ablution.
The Shaykh:
No, if it is from deep urine, he cleans himself; but if it is wind or something concealed, he does not clean himself. He rinses his mouth, cleans himself, and starts with the rinsing.
The questioner:
Or then he cleaned himself, and two hours later, for example, the state of prayer.
The Shaykh:
He starts with the face, he looks at it, he inhales, and he completes the ablution. He does not need to clean himself except from urine or wind.
