Explanation of the Book of Purification-16
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :" And from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 1221Da’if (Darussalam) Ibn Majah narrated it, and Ahmad and others weakened it " :
First: We ask why the author included this hadith even though it is weak and contrary to the principles? We say: He included it—may Allah have mercy on him—to clarify its status, the status of this hadith, and that it is weak, and because some scholars acted upon it. So he included it to clarify the rank of this hadith and its condition, and that whoever acted upon it has built upon a weak hadith.
After that, we explain it:
Vomiting is the exit of food or drink from the stomach.
The exit of blood from the nose.
The exit of food or drink from the stomach, but only filling the mouth, meaning not a lot.
It is the fluid that comes out upon desire, and it has been discussed previously.
From what?
From the mosque, but the hadith indicates that the one praying turns away from the prayer.
He said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1221Da’if (Darussalam)
But this hadith, as Ibn Hajar said—may Allah have mercy on him—Ahmad weakened it. In my view: " Al-Shafi'i and al-Daraqutni weakened it because its attribution to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is an error, and the correct thing is that it is a mursal report " : This hadith is weak in terms of its chain, and it is also weak in terms of its text, because it is contrary to the principles of the Shari'ah.
So if we say that these four things are invalidators of ablution, how is it valid to build the end of the prayer upon its beginning while an invalidator is present? This is not possible.
And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the first hadith, the hadith of Abu Hurayrah: What is obligatory?
It is obligatory that he turn away and perform ablution, so this hadith would be contrary to it.
Second: Among the defects of this hadith is that it said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1221Da’if (Darussalam) , so it is said: Glory be to Allah, the state of ritual impurity does not invalidate the prayer, but speech invalidates it. Which is lighter?
The student: Speech.
The Shaykh : Speech is lighter, and for this reason, if a person speaks in his prayer out of ignorance or forgetfulness, his prayer is valid, but if he enters a state of ritual impurity out of forgetfulness, his prayer becomes invalid. In any case, this hadith is not authentic, and if it is not authentic, no ruling is built upon it.
So let us return to these things. Does vomiting invalidate ablution?
The correct view: No, it does not invalidate ablution, whether little or much, because there is no authentic evidence for invalidating ablution with it. There is no difference between vomiting the thing while it is in its original state, meaning he just ate or drank and it came out as vomit, and the food has not changed and the drink has not changed, or if it had changed by taking time and then he vomited. In that case, it does not invalidate his ablution, neither the little nor the much, nor the changed nor the unchanged.
A nosebleed: It is the same. We say: It does not invalidate ablution, even if it is much.
If someone asks: Did it not come in a hadith that if a man enters a state of ritual impurity in his prayer, he exits the prayer and puts his hand on his nose as if he has a nosebleed? Does this not indicate that a nosebleed invalidates ablution?
The answer: No, but it is known that if a man has a nosebleed while praying, he is unable to complete the prayer. And at that time, he must exit because he cannot complete the prayer in the required manner with the presence of a nosebleed. And since a person is prohibited from praying while holding back the two excretions, so likewise here he will be preoccupied.
As for regurgitation, we say: If vomiting does not invalidate ablution, then regurgitation is even more so.
Pre-seminal fluid?
Pre-seminal fluid invalidates ablution due to the hadith of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him): So it is an invalidator of ablution. Thus, the first three: vomiting, nosebleed, and regurgitation, all do not invalidate ablution, because the original state is the continuation of ablution and the absence of an invalidator except by authentic evidence.
Whoever vomits, has a nosebleed, belches, or emits prostatic fluid, should stop praying; perform ablution, then resume his prayer, and while he is in that state he should not speak.
من أصابه قيء أو رعاف ، أو قلَس ، أو مذي فلينصرف فليتوضأ ، ثم ليبن على صلاته ، وهو في ذلك لا يتكلمFirst: We ask why the author included this hadith even though it is weak and contrary to the principles? We say: He included it—may Allah have mercy on him—to clarify its status, the status of this hadith, and that it is weak, and because some scholars acted upon it. So he included it to clarify the rank of this hadith and its condition, and that whoever acted upon it has built upon a weak hadith.
After that, we explain it:
Whoever is afflicted with vomiting
من أصابه قيءor a nosebleed
أو رعافor regurgitation
أو قَلَسor pre-seminal fluid
أو مذيlet him turn away
فلينصرفFrom the mosque, but the hadith indicates that the one praying turns away from the prayer.
He said:
should stop praying; perform ablution, then resume his prayer
فلينصرف فليتوضأ ثم ليبن على صلاتهBut this hadith, as Ibn Hajar said—may Allah have mercy on him—Ahmad weakened it. In my view: " Al-Shafi'i and al-Daraqutni weakened it because its attribution to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is an error, and the correct thing is that it is a mursal report " : This hadith is weak in terms of its chain, and it is also weak in terms of its text, because it is contrary to the principles of the Shari'ah.
So if we say that these four things are invalidators of ablution, how is it valid to build the end of the prayer upon its beginning while an invalidator is present? This is not possible.
And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the first hadith, the hadith of Abu Hurayrah:
if he hears a sound or finds wind
إنه إذا سمع صوتا أو وجد ريحاIt is obligatory that he turn away and perform ablution, so this hadith would be contrary to it.
Second: Among the defects of this hadith is that it said:
and while he is in that state he should not speak
وهو في ذلك لا يتكلمThe student: Speech.
The Shaykh : Speech is lighter, and for this reason, if a person speaks in his prayer out of ignorance or forgetfulness, his prayer is valid, but if he enters a state of ritual impurity out of forgetfulness, his prayer becomes invalid. In any case, this hadith is not authentic, and if it is not authentic, no ruling is built upon it.
