Explanation of the Book of Marriage-18
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And Abu Dawud has a similar report from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), adding: "
He also prohibited blowing into the vessel, because blowing into the vessel may carry with it disgusting things that contaminate the drink, and it may carry disease germs that become a cause of illness for whoever drinks from it after you. For this reason, he prohibited blowing into it.
The scholars differed on this prohibition: is it in every case, or only in what does not require blowing?
Because some drinks require blowing, and Khalid, will you clarify for us?
The student: Drinks that are hot need to be cooled.
The Shaykh : What?
The student: Blowing is breathing out.
The Shaykh : No, blowing is... this is blowing.
The student: Such that he does not leave the thing he wants to blow on.
The Shaykh : Hm?
The student: Except with his own breath, meaning that it fell into it.
The Shaykh : Meaning blowing harm into the drink?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Blowing harm into the drink, what do you say about this? Is it a need? How is it?
The student: It may be a need.
The Shaykh : It may be, but it may also not be a need. In the case of a cold drink, you can take it with your finger, yes. If it is hot, perhaps a person cannot remove this harmful thing except by blowing. Okay, Ibn Dawud?
The student: In some foods, if not blown on... things, if suppressed, they... so the person blows and drinks them.
The Shaykh : No, it is not correct.
The student: No, Shaykh, I...
The Shaykh : Meaning you drank the foam and your stomach swells?
The student: No, I am not saying that.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ... the water, I did not drink it.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not know this. And the foam, if you blow on it, it does not go away.
The student: It wavers.
The Shaykh : It wavers, yes.
In any case, the issue is linked to need. If there is a need for it because the drink is hot and one is in a hurry, sometimes the drink is hot and one is in a hurry, fearing to miss the congregation, for example, or to miss two rak'ahs or something similar, and he cannot stir the drink because if he stirs it, it will cool, no doubt, but stirring may not be sufficient. This is a need. But with this, we say: if his blowing causes the one who drinks after him to find it disgusting, he should not blow.
What do you say about a woman blowing for her child, because some women take a mouthful to feed the child and it is hot, so they blow on it to cool it for him?
The student: It is a need.
The Shaykh : This is also a need. This is a need, but if a person knows from himself that he has a contagious disease, he should not do it, so as not to harm others. And the issue is only a matter of time, meaning the thing will cool, so he waits a little.
Then the author said: "Chapter on Dividing". The next lesson, if Allah wills, will be a review of the chapter.
The student: A lot.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: A lot.
The Shaykh: A lot?
No, it is not a lot.
and he blows into it
