Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So among the benefits of this hadith, you mentioned five benefits, I think?
The student: Four.
The Shaykh : Four that you listed for us?
The student: Prohibiting a person from touching his penis with his right hand while urinating.
The second is the permissibility of a person touching his penis with his right hand when not urinating.
The third is the honor of the right hand.
The fourth is that the right hand is better than the left.
The fifth is the permissibility of explicitly using the word for urination.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: And that it is not considered contrary to modesty.
The Shaykh : Yes, is that it?
And among the benefits of the hadith is the prohibition of wiping oneself with the right hand after relieving oneself, based on his saying:Sahih Muslim 267a Is it disliked or forbidden?
Some scholars mentioned that it is forbidden because it is the primary reason for the prohibition, and because if one wipes with the right hand, the right hand becomes contaminated with impurity, and the right hand has honor and should be kept away from such things. For this reason, blowing the nose, which is not impure, is done with the left hand.
Some scholars said: The prohibition is for dislike, because this falls under the category of etiquette and scrupulousness, that a person should avoid this except out of need.
And among the benefits of this hadith is the prohibition of breathing into a vessel, based on his saying:Sunan Ibn Majah 3288Sahih (Darussalam).
The apparent meaning of the hadith is that there is no difference between whether others drink from this vessel or not, because it is generalSunan Ibn Majah 3288Sahih (Darussalam).
If someone says: What if a person is in dire necessity to breathe, either because he has short breath or because he needs to drink a lot of water that he cannot take in one breath?
We say: He should divide the vessel.
