Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the hadith of the Prophet
God's messenger as saying, "Water is necessary only when there is an emission.”صلى الله عليه وسلم إنما الماء من الماء
Mishkat al-Masabih 431
considered abrogated? And what is its abrogator? May Allah grant you success?

Answer:
It is not abrogated; rather, this is regarding nocturnal emission. When a person has a nocturnal emission, if he finds discharge upon waking, then he must perform the full ritual bath. If he does not find discharge, then he owes nothing. This is the meaning of his saying, “Water is from water,” meaning in the case of nocturnal emission. So if the one who has a nocturnal emission discharges, he must perform the full ritual bath. If he does not discharge, he owes nothing. Yes.
