Benefits of the Hadith (Wash the urine of the girl, and sprinkle the urine of the boy)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We derived benefits from this hadith. The first benefit is that the urine of the young boy and the urine of the young girl are ritually impure, because both were commanded to be purified from, but for the girl it is washing, and for the boy it is sprinkling or spraying.
Among the benefits of this hadith is that we understood thereby the wisdom of the Shari'ah and its differentiation in matters according to what the situation requires, whether we say that this ruling is a devotional obligation or that it has a cause, because we know that differentiation is not possible unless there is an effective cause.
Among the benefits of this hadith is that the excrement of the boy and the excrement of the girl are on the same level, because the differentiation was only in the urine, so the excrement remains as it is.
Among its benefits as well is that when the boy grows up and reaches the stage where he is nourished by food, or his food is mostly food, then his ruling is like that of an adult, meaning that his urine must be washed.
Among the benefits of this hadith is the permissibility of explicitly mentioning urine, as in "wash the urine of the girl, and sprinkle the urine of the boy." Many people, when they want to express urine, say "I want to relieve myself," which is fine, but they say "I will release the water." This is a colloquial Qasimi dialect; I do not know if it is used among you or not?

The Shaykh : Yes, and it is also a Jazirah dialect.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : And a Hijazi dialect? Well, "I release the water" or "I release the sparks." He says in *al-Furu'*—and he is one of the greatest students of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and the most knowledgeable of them about the jurisprudential issues of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, to the extent that Ibn al-Qayyim would refer to him regarding the jurisprudential issues of Shaykh al-Islam—that it is better to say "I urinate" and not to say "I pour out the water," because this is an error. Is urine water? No. How can one say "I pour out the water"? One says "I pour out the water" if it is drinkable water in a container. But now this is ritually impure, so say "I urinate," as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 376Sahih (Al-Albani).
