The questioner : Is continuity a condition?
The Shaykh : According to the school of thought, continuity is not a condition for the full ritual bath, because the washing of the body is achieved even if it is done in separate parts. However, I see that it is a condition because it is a single act of worship; therefore, if the interval between parts is long, the full ritual bath must be repeated in its entirety.
The questioner : We mentioned in: two possibilities, and a narration regarding the repetition of the ablution has been reported in Muslim.
The Shaykh : If it has been reported in *Sahih Muslim* that it is repeated, then that is the case.
The questioner : In the Musnad of Imam Ahmad.
The Shaykh : In the *Musnad*? It must be understood as referring to the intended meaning, meaning the repetition, but the implication of the general principles is to distinguish between cases, yes.
