Continuation of the review under the chapter on removing impurities and its method
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: That the urine of a boy ... meaning its removal is lighter, unlike that of a girl.
The Shaykh : Meaning, it frequently affects the garment and the body, unlike the female, so there is a concession in it. That is the end. Now, these are the causes (‘illah) we mentioned, some of which may be acceptable and some not. Sami?
The student: Yes, the correct, acceptable cause, after acknowledging that this is the ruling of Allah and His Messenger, is that the urine of a boy is lighter than the urine of a girl, because the boy is nourished by milk, and milk does not have the heaviness ... of food, so this is added to it ...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And that is indicated by the fact that its smell is lighter than the smell of a girl’s urine.
The Shaykh : Meaning, it implies that the urine of a girl is more impure than the urine of a boy, and the Islamic Shari'ah intends by removing impurity from it the removal of what is harmful, the harm, and the filth. This is the closest thing.
A woman’s garment was affected by menstrual blood, Ibrahim, what do you do?
The student: First, you scrape this blood.
The Shaykh : Yes, if it is dry.
The student: If it is dry.
The Shaykh : Now, you scrape it if it is dry.
The student: Then you rub it, then you sprinkle it with water ...
The Shaykh : Now, you rub it with what?
The student: With the tips of the fingers.
The Shaykh : Rubbing with the tips of the fingers, then sprinkling it, meaning washing it. Why did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrange these steps? Yes, Khalid?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, for the ease of removing the impurity and the reduction of water. Yes, there is a problem in this hadith, which is how is it permissible for a person to contaminate his hand with the impure thing? Come on, Sa'id?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : How is it permissible for a person to contaminate his hand with the impure thing?
The student: He does not contaminate his hand, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: His hand does not become contaminated.
The Shaykh : But how? When the woman rubs the blood, her hand must become contaminated with the blood.
The student: Out of necessity, because she must rub it ...
The Shaykh : Meaning, this is contamination with impurity in order to remove it. Now, what do you think if a person in the state of ihram was affected by perfume, and we told him, “It is obligatory for you to remove it,” so he rubbed it with his hand to remove it? Huh? Is it permissible or not permissible?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah! Yes?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : ...
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, because touching it is not for its use, but for its removal. Now, a similar case, a third example: a person is on usurped land, he repents from the usurpation, and wants to leave the land. In his walking, he will be using the usurped land. Do we say, “It is forbidden for you to take a single step”?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It is not possible, because it is not possible to get rid of this usurped property except by walking on the land. Likewise, if he usurped a pot, the pot in which he cooks, and then wanted to return it to its owner, he carried it and went with it to its owner. Now, he carried the usurped item, and this is a transaction in another person’s property, but for what? For the sake of getting rid of it. That is the end? Now, in the issue of perfume for the person in ihram, it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he applied perfume for his ihram, and that the trace of musk was seen in his armpits. It is known that if a person performs wudu and the trace of musk is in his armpits, he will touch the perfume, he will come into contact with the perfume, and he will touch it with his hand. Is it obligatory for him in this case to wash his hand, or do we say that this is something from which it is difficult to guard against, so it is excused?
The student: The second.
The Shaykh : The second, the second is the specific ruling to avoid hardship, even though the apparent wording of some jurists is that it is obligatory for him to wash his hand from this perfume. In the hadith of Asma', there is no indication that a small amount of menstrual blood is excused. Yahya?
The student: Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it to be washed.
The Shaykh : That is not sufficient.
The student: Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said ... with the tips of the fingers, which indicates that it is a small amount.
The Shaykh : Yes, correct, this is one aspect. So, a small amount of menstrual blood is not excused. But what do we say about the blood of istihadah? What do we say about the blood of istihadah, everyone?
The student: That it is joined to menstruation.
The Shaykh : That it is joined to menstruation. Now, because it comes from its pathway.
Now, a woman washed the blood, but the color remained and refused to go away. Jamal?
The student: She prays with it, and there is no blame on her.
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: She prays in it, and there is no blame on her, as long as the substance of the blood and the substance of the impurity have been removed, there is nothing wrong with it. Meaning, if the substance of the impurity is removed, it becomes pure, even if its color or smell remains with the person. And based on this, it is not obligatory to use soap, or ash, or earth, except earth in the case of a pure thing?
The student: A dog.
The Shaykh : A dog, yes.
The Shaykh : Meaning, it frequently affects the garment and the body, unlike the female, so there is a concession in it. That is the end. Now, these are the causes (‘illah) we mentioned, some of which may be acceptable and some not. Sami?
