Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.53<br />

Reciting the Qur'an<br />

According to most scholars, one who is physically unclean (because of sex or menstruation) may not recite<br />

any portion of the Qur'an. ….<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.6a<br />

Water left in a pot after a pig or dog has drunk from it<br />

Such water is considered impure and must be avoided. Al-Bukhari and Muslim have recorded, on the authority of Abu<br />

Hurairah, that the messenger of Allah said, "If a dog drinks from one of your containers, wash it seven times." Ahmad and<br />

Muslim also have this addition, "Cleanse one of your containers if a dog licks it by washing it seven times, the first washing<br />

being with dirt." As for the leftover water of a pig, it is clearly considered filth and impure.<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.66b<br />

How to perform tayammum<br />

First, one must have the intention (see the section on ablution). Then, he mentions Allah's name, strikes the soil with his<br />

hands, wipes his face and his hands up to the wrist. Nothing is more authentic and clear than what 'Ammar related. He said,<br />

"We became sexually impure and had no water, so we rolled in the dirt and prayed. This was mentioned to the Prophet and<br />

he said, 'This would have been enough for you,' and he struck the earth with his hands, blew in them and then wiped his face<br />

and hands with them." (Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim). In another text he states, "It would have been enough for you to<br />

strike the ground with your hands, blow into them, then wipe your face and hands up to the elbows." (Related by ad-<br />

Daraqutni.)<br />

This hadith shows that one strike of the earth is sufficient, and one only wipes the arms to the wrists. It is from the sunnah<br />

that one who makes tayammum with dirt should blow into his hands first and not make his face dusty or dirty.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 4140<br />

Narrated by<br />

Ali ibn AbuTalib<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The angels do not enter a house which contains a picture, a dog, or<br />

a man who is impure by sexual defilement.<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.11<br />

Sperm, Al-Mani<br />

Some scholars say that sperm is impure, but apparently it is pure, for it is only recommended to wash it off if<br />

it is still wet, and to scratch it off if it is dry<br />

INCITEMENT: See under “Discord”<br />

INDIGENT:<br />

76:8 - And they feed for the love of Allah the indigent the orphan and the captive 5839<br />

5839 The captive: when taken literally, it refers to the old state of things when captives of war had to earn their own food, or<br />

their own redemption; even ordinary prisoners in jail for criminal offences often starved unless food was provided for<br />

them by private friends or from their own earnings. (76.8)<br />

90:14 - Or the giving of food in a day of privation 6141<br />

6141 Feed those who need it, both literally and figuratively; but do so especially when there is privation or famine. (90.14)<br />

90:16 - Or to the indigent (down) in the dust. 6143<br />

6143 Persons down in the dust can only be helped from motives of pure charity, because nothing can be expected of themneither<br />

praise nor advertisement nor any other advantage to the helper. Such help is help indeed. But there may be<br />

various degrees, and the help will be suited to the needs. (90.16)<br />
