The Ruling on the Invocation of Allah's Name During Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
At the beginning of this episode, we return to the letter of our brother, the listener Sa'id ibn 'Abd al-Hamid Ahmad. We presented some of his questions in a previous episode, and in this episode he has one question, in which he says: What is the ruling on saying the name of Allah before performing wudu, and if a person does not say it, what is the ruling on his wudu? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
Saying the name of Allah at the beginning of wudu is a recommended practice (sunnah) according to the majority of scholars, while some scholars held that it is obligatory along with the dhikr. A believer should not leave it out. If he forgets or is unaware of it, he owes nothing and his wudu is valid. However, if he intentionally leaves it out while knowing the legal ruling, he should repeat the wudu as a precaution and to avoid the difference of opinion, because it was reported from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sunan Abi Dawud 102Sahih Maqtu' (Al-Albani).
This hadith came through various chains, and a group of scholars ruled that it is not established and that it is weak. Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said that it is good (hasan) due to the multiplicity of its chains, so it falls under the category of good (hasan) by virtue of other supporting chains. A believer should strive to say the name of Allah at the beginning of wudu, and likewise a believing woman. If she forgets that or is unaware of it, there is no blame on her. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
