The questioner : 2: A group of jurists held that anything coming out of the two private parts invalidates the ablution, even if it is pure. They cited evidence for this, including the fact that passing wind is a state of ritual impurity, even though it is not ritually impure because it has no substance. Is their statement correct, and what is the answer to their argument?
The Shaykh : We do not see this expansion in listing the things that invalidate the ablution, because the Sunnah did not expand to that extent, which includes what came in the question of equating what may come out of one of the two passages, if it is pure, with passing wind. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly stated that passing wind is among the things that invalidate the ablution. Analogical reasoning in acts of worship, and expanding upon it, has no indication in the Shari'ah of its legitimacy. Rather, the matter of analogical reasoning is as Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Analogical reasoning is a necessity." So one does not resort to analogical reasoning except out of necessity. Here, there is no necessity to burden people by increasing the things that invalidate the ablution through analogy and equating what was silent about with what was explicitly stated. For this reason, we do not find that expansion which was mentioned. Rather, we stand by the texts of the Shari'ah completely, keeping in mind what came in some of the hadiths:Sunan Abi Dawud 3800Sahih in chain (Al-Albani) Yes.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, is his argument, or the analogy to passing wind, this is an invalid analogy, the truth.
The Shaykh : By Allah, if he faced a necessity, he would have turned away from analogical reasoning.
The questioner : 3.
The Shaykh : Excuse me, I wanted to add something.
The questioner: Go ahead.
The Shaykh : It is the Messenger (peace be upon him) when he mentioned passing wind among the things that invalidate the ablution, he said:.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is comprehensive and exclusive.
The questioner : Yes, yes, you are correct.
The Shaykh : And therefore, it is not permissible to contradict it except with an explicit text.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Yes.

and what he said nothing about is allowable
وما سَكَتَ عنه فهو عفوٌThe questioner : Our Shaykh, is his argument, or the analogy to passing wind, this is an invalid analogy, the truth.

So he does not turn away until he hears something or passes wind.
فلا ينصرف حتَّى يسمعَ شيئًا أو يجد ريحًاThe questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is comprehensive and exclusive.
The questioner : Yes, yes, you are correct.
