Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In this hadith, there are benefits:
Among them is: taking into account the facilitation for the Muslim community, and that is by facilitating the rulings of travel in ritual purity and what is related to it, in prayer and what is related to it, and in fasting and what is related to it. You will find that the Shari'ah has facilitated the rulings for whom?
For the traveler.
So it is derived from this that the Shari'ah takes into account facilitation.
And among its benefits is also: explaining the wisdom in legislation, and that it suits the circumstances. This is very clear in acts of worship and in transactions. For example, in acts of worship, how long do you see the traveler wiping?
Three days and their nights, and the resident one day and one night.
The four-rak'ah prayer is completed in the city and shortened in travel.
Combining prayers is permissible in travel.
Likewise in transactions: selling fresh dates for dried dates is forbidden, is it not?
The student: Yes.
Another student: There is a detail in this.
The Shaykh : What detail, Salim? Selling fresh dates for dried dates is forbidden, but if a person needs the fresh dates and does not have dirhams, it is permissible for him to buy the fresh dates with dried dates under the known conditions of 'araya. This also indicates facilitation.
Rather, we have a principle:[Al-An'am 6:119] : This is a principle: "Every forbidden thing that a person is compelled to, and his necessity is removed by it, becomes lawful" , and this is what indicates that the Shari'ah takes into account the circumstances.
Among the benefits of this hadith is: that whoever is wearing a leather sock does not remove it by the order of the Messenger, due to his saying: : And this is what supports what we mentioned first, that whoever is wearing leather socks does not remove them, because this is from the category of excessive strictness and affectation, and one who is more mindful of Allah than you and more knowledgeable of Allah than you has wiped over them. Yes.
And among the benefits of this hadith is: that the traveler wipes for three days and their nights.
And among its benefits is: that there is no wiping over the leather sock in major ritual impurity, because the state of major ritual impurity is heavier than the state of urination and defecation. Therefore, there is no wiping in it except in a state of dire necessity, in the case of a cast, where he wipes as will come if Allah wills.
And among the benefits of this hadith is: that the wiping is for the minor state of ritual impurity, and this is a branch of the benefit we mentioned.
And among its benefits is: that defecation, urination, and sleep are invalidators of the ablution, due to his saying:Sunan an-Nasa'i 158Hasan (Darussalam) , and the apparent meaning of the hadith is that there is no difference between little and much defecation, is it not? Brother, what did we say?
The student: There is no difference between little and much defecation.
The Shaykh : Yes, and likewise urination, there is no difference between little and much. The apparent meaning of this hadith of Safwan is that there is no difference between little and much sleep, but other evidence indicated that there is a difference between little and much regarding?
Regarding sleep.
So it is derived from this hadith: that defecation is an invalidator of the ablution, little or much; urination is an invalidator of the ablution, little or much; and sleep is an invalidator of the ablution, little or much. But this is restricted regarding sleep by other hadiths: that if the sleep is little, the ablution is not invalidated by it, and the explanation of that will come in the invalidators of the ablution if Allah wills.
Is the hadith of Safwan here a restriction of the invalidators of the ablution, or are there other invalidators?
The student: There are other invalidators.
The Shaykh : That is, there are other invalidators, among them is passing wind, which was not mentioned here, and among them is eating camel meat, which was not mentioned here. The important thing is that Safwan (may Allah be pleased with him) only mentioned examples, and it does not indicate restriction.

Rather, we have a principle:
while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled
وقد فصل لكم ما حرم عليكم إلا ما اضطررتمAmong the benefits of this hadith is: that whoever is wearing a leather sock does not remove it by the order of the Messenger, due to his saying:
We ordered us not to remove
أمرنا ألا ننزعAnd among the benefits of this hadith is: that the traveler wipes for three days and their nights.
And among its benefits is: that there is no wiping over the leather sock in major ritual impurity, because the state of major ritual impurity is heavier than the state of urination and defecation.

And among its benefits is: that defecation, urination, and sleep are invalidators of the ablution, due to his saying:
but not in the case of defecation, urinating or sleep
ولكن من غائط وبول ونومThe student: There is no difference between little and much defecation.
