The ruling on using pebbles for cleaning when water is available
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person uses pebbles for cleaning and then finds water, does he complete the cleaning of the remaining parts with water, or does he repeat the cleaning with water? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Using pebbles for cleaning is sufficient for him, and ritual purity is achieved by it if he uses three pebbles or more and cleanses the area, as the authentic hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) confirm this, even in the presence of water. He must perform wudu with water. May Allah guide them all.
