What is required of the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) if he experiences a wet dream and has no clothes?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is required of the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) if he experiences a wet dream and has no clothes, given that the house is far from the Sacred Mosque?
The Shaykh : Given that the house is far.
The questioner : Far from the Sacred Mosque.
The Shaykh : Why? Why did we say far?
The questioner : I mean, tell me. Allah.
The Shaykh : Tell me if I want to benefit from this. If you make the noun accusative. What? And you make the predicate nominative, I would say: If Zayd is what? Standing. If you say: If Zayd is standing. No, that is not correct.
And here is an issue that occurs with some mu'adhdhins (the one who calls to prayer). The mu'adhdhin says: "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." Some mu'adhdhins say: "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." What is your opinion on this adhan (the call to prayer)? Is it valid or not? No, "Messenger of Allah" is said. It is said that a man heard a mu'adhdhin say: "If Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," so he said to him: What is the matter with this messenger? The news has not come yet. What does "If Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" mean? What is in it? Bring the news. But if he says: "That Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," the news has come, and we know that this man testified that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. The important thing is: if the mu'adhdhin says "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," is the adhan of the other valid? I am from the closest. We are forgetting what is between them. The question is so that I am Jordanian. I noticed it. If the mu'adhdhin says "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," does the adhan suffice or not? The news came to us, meaning it is not like this. The news suffices for the people. It appears that grammar is in one valley and you are in another valley. Fine, it is not known that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, which news? There is nothing except your house after. A treacherous mountain. Fine. They see me, O Shaykh. Ha. If we say "That Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," the listener does not know the news by this matter. Yes, correct.
The news is not present, and the listener does not understand the news from this sentence, but I say that the matter is important, and praise be to Allah, because there is an Arabic language in which both parts are made accusative, except that the subject and the predicate are made accusative. Ha? And based on this, the poet said: "If the twilight of night has darkened, then come, and let your steps be light, if our guards are fierce." The evidence is in his saying: "If our guards are lions," and he did not say: "If our guards are lions." Who will repeat the verse a second time for me? Ha? No, the evidence is no. "If the twilight of night has darkened, then come, and let your steps be light, if our guards are fierce," meaning do not come except at night, and if you come, also let your steps be light, because the guards who guard it are fierce, you cannot handle them. Who will repeat the verse? Who will repeat the verse, yes.
Professor, perfect. Fine, I say: Praise be to Allah when I stumbled upon this language, I said: Praise be to Allah that the mu'adhdhins who say "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah" have a valid adhan according to this language. Originally, the mu'adhdhin does not know grammar, and if he says "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," if you asked him: With what do you testify? He said: I testify that Muhammad is the messenger. O Shaykh, do not be in a state of Shaykh. No, no, learn grammar first so that you correct your state or do not correct your state. You do not correct your state. The state is not accompanying, O Shaykh, it is not definite, yes.
The questioner : What is required of the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) if he experiences a wet dream, and has no clothes, given that the house is far from the Sacred Mosque?
The Shaykh : Perfect, fine. If the one in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque) experiences a wet dream, the matter is easy for him. What does he do? If the trace of janabah (major ritual impurity) is wet, he washes it. If it is dry, he rubs it, as the mother of the believers, A'ishah, used to do that. So there is no difficulty in their matter, as long as he will go out to perform ghusl (the full ritual bath). He washes what affected the garment from the janabah (major ritual impurity), if it is wet, and if it is dry, he rubs it. If it leaves a trace on the garment after rubbing, let him wash it with water, and there is no need to change the garment. Yes.
The Shaykh : Given that the house is far.
The questioner : Far from the Sacred Mosque.

But if he says: "That Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," the news has come, and we know that this man testified that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
