Question:
What is the ruling for one who sits, or remains in a state of janabah, for a period of time with an excuse, or without an excuse?
Answer:
There is no harm as long as the time for prayer has not arrived. If the time for prayer arrives, he must perform the ghusl and offer the prayer, such as the Zuhr or the Asr. As for the Duha, for example, if he delays until he does not perform the ghusl until the time of Zuhr, it is established in the two Sahihs from the hadith of Hudhayfah and the hadith of Abu Hurayrah that they met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then they withdrew from him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: They said: We were in a state of janabah, and we disliked to sit with you while we were not in a state of ritual purity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 230Sahih (Al-Albani) And he did not disapprove of their remaining in a state of non-purity. May Allah send blessings upon him.
The presenter: But what do you advise people to do, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: If he hastens to perform the ghusl, that is good. If he hastens, that is fine, but it is not obligatory for him. He may be hindered by an obstacle; he goes out to the market to buy something he needs, or the like. There is no blame on him. He is only obligated to do so when the time for what necessitates it arrives. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
