Waqf Ikhlas publications Endless Bliss Fascicle-4 http://www.hizmetbooks.org tayammum becomes annulled because one has slept. If one cannot get off the vehicle to make an ablution though one has been awake, the tayammum does not become annulled. If more than half of the surface of a junub person's body has a disease, such as a wound, smallpox or scarlet fever, he makes a tayammum. If major part of his skin is healthy and if it is possible to wash himself without moistening the diseased parts, he makes a ghusl with water and makes masah on the diseased parts. If masah would cause harm, he puts one or several clothes on the diseased parts and makes masah on them. One whose hands are diseased puts his feet and face into water. If he cannot do this he makes a tayammum. A sick person who can get help from someone in order to make an ablution does not make a tayammum. If it is impossible for him to wash without moistening the wounded parts, he makes a tayammum. If more than half of all his limbs of ablution or three or all four of his limbs of ablution are wounded, he makes a tayammum. If a tayammum would cause harm he omits the prayer. If they are equal, he must not make a tayammum. It is not permissible for a person who makes a tayammum to wash some of his limbs. There are thirty-four such things that cannot be done at the same time. Though it was said, "He who has such a headache that he cannot make masah on his head can make a tayammum in place of an ablution, and he who can not wash his head can make a tayammum in place of a ghusl," this word must not be acted upon, because the fatwa which states that they both will lapse has been issued formerly. Think of the endless world, do not adore a shadow, Read the Sunnite book, do not be obstinate, Wake up as you can, do not miss the chance, Do not form habits that will burn eternally. Be mustaqim, hadrat Allah will not embarrass thee! Seeing this unawareness, the devil will mock thee, Come to yourself, my dear, do not let the accursed ape thee Do not be mundane, give up pomp and fame, Beautiful morals is what most becomes to thee. Be mustaqim, hadrat Allah will not embarrass thee! 6 - TAHARAT FROM NAJASAT Ibni Abidin writes at the beginning of the chapter on Essential Conditions for Salat (namaz): "There must be no najasat or impurity on the body, on the clothes of a person making salat (prayer) or on the place where he prays. A kerchief, a headgear, a skull-cap, a turban, mests and nalins (pattens) are considered clothings. Since the hanging part of a scarf wrapped around one's neck moves as one moves when performing the namaz, it is included with the clothes, and the namaz will not be accepted if the rest of the cloth is not clean. When those parts where one steps and puts one's head on the cloth spread on the ground are clean, the namaz will be accepted if the rest of the cloth is not clean. When those parts where one steps and puts one's head on the cloth spread on the ground are clean, the namaz will be accepted even if there is najasat on its other parts. For the cloth, unlike the scarf, is not united with the body. A child with clothing smeared with najasat, a cat, a bird, or a dog salivating from its mouth does not nullify one's namaz when they sit on one's lap. For they stay there themselves. But if one holds them on one's lap, shoulder or so on, one has carried them, and this nullifies one's namaz. One's namaz is not nullified by holding a wild animal that does not produce saliva, a clean animal such as a cat, or a child on one's lap, if their outer parts are clean. For the najasat in them is contained where it is produced. Page 47 of 181

So is the case with carrying blooded eggs in one's pocket. Because the blood in the eggs is encased where it is produced, it does not nullify one's namaz. But the namaz of a person carrying urine in a closed bottle is not accepted. For the bottle is not the place where the urine is produced. This is also written in Halabi al-Kabir. [Hence it is not permissible to perform namaz while one has a closed bottle of blood or tincture of iodine or a closed box containing a bloody handkerchief or a piece of cloth smeared with najasat equaling more than a dirham (3.365 grams) in one's pocket.] The places where one's two feet step and where one puts one's head must be clean. Even if the cloth on which one prostrates is small, the namaz will be accepted even if its other parts are foul. The namaz performed on cloth, glassware [or nylon] spread or put on najasat is accepted. There is no harm done if one's skirt touches some dry najasat when prostrating. If one raises one of one's feet because there is najasat under it and performs the namaz on one foot, the namaz will be accepted if the place where one stands is clean. There are many Islamic scholars who say that the places where the hands and knees are put need not be clean. If one prostrates on one's hand, the place where one puts one's hand must be clean. Any solid najasat on one's skin or clothes and fluid najasat such as urine and blood, even if it is on the mests, can be cleaned only by washing. Soil smeared with some fluid najasat, such as blood, wine [alcoholic liquids], urine, is equated with solid najasat. When solid najasat is on a belt, a bag, mests or shoes, it can be cleaned by crumbling, wiping. Solid or fluid, any najasat on things not absorbent, but smooth and shining, such as glass, mirrors, bones, nails, knives, painted or varnished furniture, becomes clean when it is rubbed with the hands, soil or any clean thing until it loses three peculiarities (color, odor, taste). When a bloody knife or a sheep's head is held over a fire until the blood disappears, it becomes clean. When any soil on which some najasat has fallen is dried by the wind and loses its three peculiarities, it becomes pure and one can perform namaz on it. But it cannot be used for tayammum. If any cloth, mat, clothes or one's skin were on the soil, these will not become clean when they dry. When these are smeared with najasat, they must be washed before the namaz. Bricks, faience paved on the ground, grass, trees growing in soil, rocks, like soil, become pure when they dry. When dried semen is rubbed off its place the skin becomes clean. If the semen is wet, or if it is blood, whether wet or dry, the clothes or the skin (on which it is) must be washed. Depending upon the kind of the najasat and the place smeared with it, there are over thirty different ways of cleaning. When soap is made from any oil mixed with najasat or from the oil of a carrion, a foul animal or a pig, it becomes clean. So is the case with all chemical changes. Bread can be baked in an oven that was made with foul water. Things made from najs [foul] earth, such as jugs and jars, become clean when they are taken out of the furnace. If the qaba najasat is not as much as one dirham or more on one's skin or clothes or on the place where one performs the namaz, the namaz will be accepted. But if there is as much as a dirham it is tahrimi makruh and it is wajib to wash it. If it is more than a dirham it is fard to wash it. If it is less than a dirham it is sunnat to wash it. Some scholars say that it is fard to wash away even a drop of wine. According to the other three Madhhabs, it is fard to wash even a mote of any qaba najasat completely. [In Maliki Madhhab, according to a second report, najasat is not a problem for performing namaz. Cleaning it is sunnat. It is written in Ma'fuwat that the najasat left after istinja is allowable in Shafi'i Madhhab]. Najasat is measured according to how much najasat is on a person when starting to perform the namaz, not when he is smeared with it. Page 48 of 181
