From the previous classes, you would have been familiar with

the methodology of studying fiqh in Islam, especially on the

importance of going back to the basis (dalil).

Therefore in future, my slides/ hand-outs' will not contain

elaborate explanations, but will be brief but with emphasis on

basis (therefore you are to give special attention to practice,

and to memorize) on the explanation and these basis - Qur'an

or Hadith (especially those which I painstakingly provide with –

or without - the transliteration to ease those new converts).

e.g. e.g. SWOLAHSWOLAH, etc. , etc.

As Muslims, there are occasions in which this bathing is due to

a ceremonial state of ceremonial impurity termedtermed JUNUBAN JUNUBAN

whence its performance is Deemed WAJIB (compulsory) as as

commanded (Q: 5: 6) commanded (Q: 5: 6) by Allah swt.



The Messenger of Allah s.a.a.w. said: “Water (washing/bathing) is

needed after (ejaculation of) water (sperm).”

(Hadith reported by Muslim)

[1] Discharge of al-mani (ejaculation of sperm - orgasm)

Abu Sa’eed r.a. reported that he heard :


[1] Discharge of al-mani (ejaculation of sperm - orgasm) Umm Salamah r.a. reported that:


“Umm Sulaim said, O Messenger of Allah! Allah is not

ashamed of the Truth. Does a woman have to perform

ghusl’ (bathe) if she has a wet dream?” He said, “Yes, if

she sees the liquid.”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary, Muslim & others)

[1] Discharge of al-mani (ejaculation of sperm - orgasm) Umm Salamah r.a. reported that:


[2] The meeting of two circumcised parts (sexual intercourse)

Abu Hurairah r.a. narrated that :



The Prophet s.a.a.w. said, “When anyone sits between the four

parts of her body and exerts himself (has intercourse), bathing-

GHUSL’ becomes obligatory (for both).”

(Hadith reported by Ahmad & Muslim)

Abu Hurairah r.a. narrated that :



“If the two circumcised parts encountered each other (i.e. sexual

penetration), GHUSL’ (bathing) is obligatory.”

(Hadith reported by Ahmad & Malik)

A’isha r.a. narrated that the Prophet s.a.a.w. said :



Commenting on the above verse“… and if you are in (JUNUBAN)

sexually impure, purify yourselves.” (Q: 5:6), as-Shafi’ie r.a. said, “In

the Arabic language, sexual impurity “JUNUBAN” refers to any type of

sexual intercourse, regardless of whether sperm was ejaculated or

not. If someone says, “So and so is sexually impure due to so and so”,

it refers to any type of sexual intercourse between them, even if

there was no ejaculation. No one disagrees that the fornication which

requires the prescribed punishment is sexual intercourse even if

there is no ejaculation.”


[2] Women: menstruation (HAIDH ); post-natal bleeding (NIFAS )

And they ask you about menstruation, say “it is a discomfort;

therefore keep aloof from the women during the menstrual

discharge and do not go near them until they have become clean.”

(Qur’an: Baqarah: 2: 222)


[2] Women: menstruation (HAIDH); post-natal bleeding (NIFAS)

“Do not perform swolah (devotional prayer) during your period.

After it has ended, perform ghusl’ and pray.”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary & Muslim)

“NIFAS ” (post-natal bleeding) is treated in similar manner,

according to Ijma’ (consensus of opinion of the Companions).

The Prophet s.a.a.w. spoke to Fatimah binte Abi Hubeish r.a.,


If the menstruation (which usually takes about 6-7 days to

complete) becomes irregularly prolonged (i.e. longer than

normal),give a grace period of a day, after which the bleeding

is not considered as menstruation, but an ailment.

After this grace period, if there is still bleeding, the woman

can begin to perform Swolah. But each time, she has to take

her obligatory bath immediately before performing her

swolah.

NOTE:


[3] Death

Based on the ijma’ (consensus of the scholars), it is

obligatory to bathe the dead Muslim.

Exception is for those who died as a Shahid (those who

attained martyrdom in war to defend Islam).


[4] Conversion to Islam

From a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah r.a. regarding the conversion of

Thumamah al-Hanafi r.a. (a prisoner of war)


[4] Conversion to Islam

The Prophet s.a.a.w. untied him and told him to go to the

garden of Abu Talhah r.a. and perform ghusl’. He performed

ghusl’ and prayed two raka’at. The Prophet s.a.a.w. said

“indeed, your brother (Thumamah) became a fine Muslim.”

(Hadith reported by Bukhary & Muslim)

From a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah r.a. regarding the conversion of

Thumamah al-Hanafi r.a. (a prisoner of war)



[1] PERFORMANCE OF SWOLAH (DEVOTIONAL PRAYER)*

[2] TAWAF (CIRCUMAMBULATING THE KA’ABAH)*

*As has been explained in the previous lesson


[3] TOUCHING OR CARRYING THE QUR’AN

The companions all agreed that it is forbidden to touch or

carry the Qur’an (mushaf) while one is in the state of major

impurity.

As regards to touching parts of it, as used in letters, books,

tafsir, translations etc. where it is not considered as Mushaf,

scholars have allowed the touching of it for those in state of

impurity. *”Mushaf ” literally “the bounded leaves or scrolls”

is in reference to the whole Qur’an in Arabic.


[4] RECITING THE QUR’AN

“Verily, nothing kept the Messenger s.a.w. from the

Qur’an save being in Janabah.”

(Hadith reported by four muhaddithun)

‘Ali r.a. said:



‘Ali r.a. said, “I saw the Messenger of Allah s.a.a.w. perform

ablution and recited some of the Qur’an, after which he said,

‘This is for the one who is not in Janabat. If one is in Janabat

he may not do so, not even one verse.’”

(Hadith reported by Ahmad & Abu Ya’ala)



Scholars of the Shafi’ie madzhab are of the opinion that

reciting verses from the Qur’an, but as a form of dzikr viz.

basmalah, “innaa-lil laahi wa inna ilai-hi raa-ji-‘uun” etc. is

permissible for those in janabat.


[5] STAYING IN THE MOSQUE

‘Aishah r.a. said, “The Messenger of Allah s.a.a.w. saw that his

companions’ houses were practically (open) in the mosque. He

said, ‘Direct those houses away from the mosque.’



He then entered the mosque, but the people did nothing, hoping

that Allah would reveal to Muhammad s.a.a.w. that what they were

doing was permissible… after he came out, he said, ‘Direct those

houses away from the mosque, for it is not permitted for

menstruating women or those in Janabat to be in the mosque.’”

(Hadith reported by Abu Dawud)

‘Aishah r.a. said, “The Messenger of Allah s.a.a.w. saw that his

companions’ houses were practically (open) in the mosque. He

said, ‘Direct those houses away from the mosque.’



“The Messenger s.a.a.w. came to the mosque’s courtyard

and said at the top of his voice, “The mosque is off-limits to

menstruating women and those in Janabat.””

(Hadith reported by ibn Majah & Thabrani)

Umm Salamah r.a. related:



“O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you

are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a

state of janabah, except those passing through [a place of

prayer], until you have washed [your whole body].”

(Qur’an: An-Nisa’: 4 : 43)



“One of us used to pass through the mosque though he was

in a state of Janabah.”

(Hadith related by Ibn Abu Shaibah & Sa’eed ibn Mansur)

Exception Jabir r.a. said :



Exception A’ishah r.a. said :



“The Messenger of Allah s.a.w. said to me, ‘Hand me my

cloth from the mosque.’ I said, ‘I am menstruating.’ He said,

‘Your menstruation is not on your hand.’”

(Hadith reported by the Jama’ah except Bukhary)

hand to his left and washed his private parts, wiped his hands on the

earth, rinsed his mouth and nose, washed his face and hands, washed

his head three times, poured water over his body, and finally moved

from his place and washed his feet. I brought him a towel, but he did

not take it, for he shook the water off with his hands.

A’ishah r.a. discovered that ‘Abdullah ibn Umar r.a. was ordering

women with plaited hairs to undo them during ghusl’. She said, “It

is amazing that Ibn ‘Umar orders the women to undo the plaits of

hair for ghusl’. Why doesn’t he just order them to shave their

heads? I and the Messenger of Allah s.a.a.w. used to bathe from

one vessel, and all I did was pour three handfuls of water over my

head.”

‘Ubaid ibn ‘Umair r.a. narrated that


“Asma binte Yazid r.a. asked the Messenger of Allah s.a.a.w. about ghusl’

after menstruation has ended. He said, “She should use water mixed with

leaves of the lote-tree and cleanse herself. Then she should pour water

over her head and rub it well till it reaches the roots of the hairs, after

which she should pour water over it. Afterwards, she should take a piece

of cotton smeared with musk and cleanse herself with it.” Asma asked,

“How should she cleanse herself with it?” He said, “Praise be to Allah, she

should cleanse with it (i.e. to rub it over traces of blood).”
