What does one do if he wakes up before the sun rises while in a state of major ritual impurity? Does he perform the full ritual bath or dry ablution?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... And on this occasion, I mention a hadith or athar (report) that Imam Abu Bakr al-Bayhaqi narrated in his Sunan al-Kubra with a sound chain. Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) led the people in the Fajr prayer one day and lengthened the recitation. When he finished the prayer, they said to him, "O Abu Bakr, you lengthened the prayer until the sun was about to rise." He said—and what a good thing he said—"If it rises, you will not find us heedless." Do you see this great statement? "If it rises, you will not find us heedless," because we are in the obedience of Allah. And this man who woke up just before the sun rose and proceeded to purify himself, and the sun rose while he was still in that state, is among the heedless.
Al-Halabi : Is the negligence in the sleep?
The Shaykh : Yes, and therefore he said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 551Sahih (Darussalam). And this applies even to one who is not excused, so what about one who is excused? If the situation before him is that he must attend to washing the clothes, and if he goes out, what happens? The time for prayer passes.
The questioner : Even if it is the Jumu'ah prayer?
The Shaykh : Even if it is the Jumu'ah prayer. Your words are understood, but your intention is unknown. What do you mean?
The questioner : Do you mean he feared he would miss it?
The questioner : Did he miss it or what?
The questioner : Yes, yes, he missed it.
The Shaykh : Ah, okay, so does his preoccupation with washing the clothes cause him to miss the Jumu'ah prayer?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : This reality requires some deliberation, but I remember your question. I wanted to complete my previous statement and say that the full ritual bath is not necessarily required. Perhaps this is the answer to the difficult question. The full ritual bath is not required to be done in the way we usually do it. That is, if he dips the garment in this and there is no apparent impurity, and he washes it and rubs it, even once, and three times is better, then it is sufficient according to the tightness of the time, especially in the situation you mentioned last regarding the Jumu'ah prayer. But if we suppose that the time is completely tight, the truth is that I do not have an answer to this question at the moment. And peace be upon you.
Abu Layla : Can we wait until the women leave?
The Shaykh : Wait for the women? They will not leave unless we leave in front of them, ... .
Abu Layla : This is, O our Shaykh, 'Abd al-Ra'uf.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, what Allah willed, oh my, this is Abu Basam, yes, that is right.
Al-Halabi : Is the negligence in the sleep?
The Shaykh : Yes, and therefore he said:
Whoever catches up with a Rak'ah of Fajr before the sun rises, then he has caught up with
