Reports from the Companions on the issue of a person in a state of major ritual impurity remaining in the mosque after performing ablution, which some scholars have deemed weak
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I am surprised that it is not permissible for a person in a state of major ritual impurity, even if he has performed ablution, to remain in the mosque. In the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Musnad Ahmad 806Qawi (Darussalam) the wall. Did they not say that the actions of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) mean that they weakened what was reported from the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them)? How do we respond to them?
The Shaykh : Yes, we respond to them if the weakness is established. If the weakness is established, it is not a proof. It remains that it is not a proof.
The questioner : It has become not permissible.
The Shaykh : If the weakness is established, it is not a proof, because a person in a state of major ritual impurity, even if he performs ablution, remains in his state of major ritual impurity. However, it is well known that ablution alleviates the state of major ritual impurity. This is why a person sleeps after performing ablution while in a state of major ritual impurity, but does not sleep if he has not performed ablution, though there is disagreement on this point.
Abu `Ubaid, the freed slave of `Abdur-Rahman bin Azhar, narrated that He heard `Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “It is not permissible for any Muslim man to have any meat left from his sacrifice after three days.`
