The Ruling on Order and Consecutiveness in the Full Ritual Bath

The questioner : What is your opinion if a man intends, while in a state of major ritual impurity, to perform the full ritual bath, and he immerses himself in a pond or a pool where the floodwaters have gathered?

The Shaykh : Then he comes out. It suffices for him if he rinses his mouth and sniffs water into his nose. Good, if he intended to perform the ablution and then immersed himself in this water, Muhammad Nur,

The questioner : Yes, from

The Shaykh : No, it is not a substitute for the ablution.

The questioner : I tell him that it was coming from the work, coming from a stronger basis.

The Shaykh : Yes, but the priorities do not apply in every place. Good, who knows?

The questioner : It does not suffice for him because he lost the order.

The Shaykh : He does not know that he lost the order, correct?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : It does not suffice because it is only the order. That is, this is regarding a disputed issue. The school of thought holds that the order is obligatory and must be observed. We have previously assessed that. And on this basis, it does not suffice if the order is missed. Good, if he came out in order, it sufficed for him. How does he come out in order, Yasser? Huh?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : No, he comes out and completes what is valid.

The questioner : Good, by Allah, look at the pond, look at the pond, it passes over his hand and his back.

The Shaykh : And he closed his eyes now.

The questioner : In the same pond, he takes a handful of water from the sky and puts it on.

The Shaykh : He is not like you now, how does he take like you?

The questioner : He passes his hand over his limbs.

The Shaykh : Meaning, he sits with his limbs in the middle of the water and considers this to be in order?

The questioner : Huh? He comes out with his hands, then he pours water over his head between the two hands and from the others.

The Shaykh : Yes, and he has no way except this. He comes out with his palms as if he has washed them, and then his face, and his head does not come out with his face, yes, or is it not possible? Good, then he raises his right hand to the elbow, then his left hand to the elbow, then he raises his head and wipes it like this, then he goes back and comes out once with his legs. If it is flowing, he looks to see if each flow is considered separate water, or if the flowing water is like stagnant water, and this has passed us and we discussed it?

The questioner : Hmm?

The Shaykh : In the rules of the return and the rules of jurisprudence, there is disagreement on this, yes. Good, in any case, in the issue of the ablution, if he immerses and intends, it is not valid unless he comes out in order, and his coming out in order is undoubtedly difficult. And that is sufficient from that, as the brother Yasser said, that he comes out and then performs the ablution, yes.

The questioner : It is valid, yes.

The Shaykh : They say that the washing of the limb is not complete until the water separates from it. A vessel until the water opens from it.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : The ablution suffices in the pond if he orders it, if he orders it, it suffices. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah welcome you.

The Shaykh : If it is said that the order is a recommended practice, it suffices, yes.

The questioner : There is not.

The Shaykh : Or no, no, no, I do not know, our professor.
