This prevents dirt from getting on one's penis, and also makes it easy to keep it clean. For women, it involves cutting the<br />

outer portion of the clitoris. Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah said, "Ibrahim circumcised himself after he was<br />

eighty years old." (Related by al-Bukhari.) Many scholars say that it is obligatory.'ø The Shaf'iyyah maintain that it should be<br />

done on the seventh day. Says ash-Shaukani, "There is nothing that states explicitly its time or indicates that it is obligatory."<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.36a<br />

Touching the sexual organ without any "barrier" between the hand and the<br />

organ<br />

Busrah bint Safwan narrated that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said, "Whoever touches his sexual organ cannot pray<br />

until he performs ablution."<br />

This hadith is related by "the five." At-Tirmidhi classified it as sahih and al-Bukhari called it the most authentic report on that<br />

topic. Malik, ash-Shaifi, Ahmad and others also narrated it. Abu Dawud said, "I asked Ahmad, 'Is the hadith of Busrah<br />

authentic?' He said, 'Certainly it is authentic." In the narration of Ahmad and an-Nasa'i, Busrah heard the Prophet saying,<br />

"Ablution is to be made by the one who touches his sexual organ." This is general and encompasses touching one's own<br />

sexual organs or touching somebody else's. Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet as saying, "Whoever touches his sexual<br />

organ without any covering (between them) must perform ablution." (Related by Ahmad, Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim, who<br />

classified it as sahih, as did Ibn 'Abdul-Barr.)<br />

Said Ibn as-Sakin, "That hadith is from the best of what has been related on this topic." Ash-Shaf'i related: "Any man who<br />

touches his penis must perform ablution. Any women who touches her vagina must perform ablution." Commenting on its<br />

authenticity, Ibn alQayyim quotes al-Hazimi who says, "That chain is sahih." The Hanifiyyah are of the opinion, based on the<br />

following hadith, that touching the sexual organ does not nullify the ablution: "A man asked the Prophet if a man who touches<br />

his penis has to perform ablution. Said the Prophet, upon whom be peace, "No, it is just a part of you." (Related by "the five."<br />

Ibn Hibban classified it as sahih, and Ibn al-Madini said, "It is better than the hadith of Busrah.'')<br />

Hadith 29.95<br />

Coitus Interruptus<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban that Ibn<br />

Muhayriz said, "I went into the mosque and saw Abu Said al-Khudri and so I sat by him and asked him about coitus<br />

interruptus. Abu Said al-Khudri said, 'We went out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on<br />

the expedition to the Banu al-Mustaliq. We took some Arabs prisoner, and we desired the women as celibacy was hard for<br />

us. We wanted the ransom, so we wanted to practise coitus interruptus. We said, 'Shall we practise coitus interruptus while<br />

the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is among us before we ask him?' We asked him about that<br />

and he said, 'You don't have to not do it. There is no self which is to come into existence up to the Day of Rising but that it will<br />

come into existence.' "<br />

Prophet Muhammad's Last Sermon<br />

…..O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have right over you. If they abide<br />

by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them<br />

for they are your partners and comitted helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you<br />

do not approve, as well as never to commit adultery……<br />

WORDS:<br />

2:58 - And remember We said: "Enter this town and eat of the plenty therein as ye wish; but enter<br />

the gate with humility in posture and in words and We shall forgive you your faults and<br />

increase (the portion of) those who do good." 72<br />

72 This probably refers to Shittim. It was the "town of acacias," just east of the Jordan, where the Israelites were guilty of<br />

debauchery and the worship of and sacrifice to false gods (Num. xxv. 1-2, also 8-9); a terrible punishment ensued,<br />

including the plague of which 24,000 died. The word which the transgressors changed may have been a pass-word.<br />

In the Arabic text it is "Hittatun" which implies humility and a prayer of forgiveness, a fitting emblem to distinguish them<br />

from their enemies. From this particular incident a more general lesson may be drawn; in the hour of triumph we are<br />

to behave humbly as in God's sight, and our conduct should be exemplary according to God's word; otherwise our<br />

arrogance will draw its own punishment. (2.58)<br />

2:113 - The Jews say: "The Christians have naught (to stand) upon"; and the Christians say: "The<br />

Jews have naught (to stand) upon." Yet they (profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto<br />

their word is what those say who know not but Allah will judge between them in their quarrel<br />

on the Day of Judgment. 116<br />
