00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			And then he goes on to say my
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:04
			beloved brothers and sisters, Waqaalu rahimu Allah
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			Waqaana yukhallilu lihyahahu ahiyanan
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			We are now going to speak about
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			the beard.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			He says here,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			the Messenger
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			used to do takleel
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			of the beard. Taghleel, my brothers and my
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			sisters, is to take fingers.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			Okay? And then
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			to place it inside of the beard like
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			that.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			Okay? Like that.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			And there's a number of ways that an
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			individual can,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			implement the sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			Wasallam with regards to
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			washing the beard.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			And he has 3 different scenarios. The first
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			one is that he gets some water, and
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			then he does this.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			I know my beard is a bit thick,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			but some people have very, very short or
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			very small beards. So you take water, and
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			then you place it like that. I remember
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			our Sheikh, Sheikh Abdul Samu Shoa in the
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			Haram,
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			and I never forgot it, SubhanAllah, because of
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			him demonstrating it. Sheikh has a little beard.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			You can try to Google him or YouTube
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			him. He has a little bed. He did
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			this and he was just put it inside
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			like that. And this is exactly what the
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			kanay that Tawaba is Anasim Malekah radiAllahu ta'ala
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			* mention whenever he did wudu,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			Akhadakafanimma,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			he would take a kaff,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			a handful of water like that,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			Fa'atkala ootahta hanaqihi,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			and then he would place it
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			under his bed.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			Okay. So that's the first scenario.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			The second scenario is what I showed earlier.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			You take water and then you start placing
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			it. You start placing it like that into
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			your beard.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			Remember how Sheikh Salah al Sindhi demonstrated this
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			in Haram as well. He took his fingers
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			and he started putting it inside of his
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			beard like that,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			and it just really stuck with me because
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:57
			it's something that it gets demonstrated, right?
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			And then the 3rd scenario, my beloved
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			brothers and sisters is,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			to take water and then start doing this.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			So you then
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			start like
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			on the side of your beard.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			Payib.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			$1,000,000 question now that,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			some of you guys may be itching to
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			ask.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			Do I have to wash the bed when
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			doing the wudu? Is it a mas? Is
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			it an obligation? Is it sunnah? Is it
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			not?
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			It depends what kind of beard you have.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			It really does.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:37
			Okay?
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			Because we know the beard is part of
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			the face. Right? And we mentioned before that
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			washing the face,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			washing the face, is a pillar from the
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			pillars of the wudu. And we know here
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			that the beard is on the face as
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			well.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			The principle here is,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			if you have a thin beard,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			then you have to wash the outside
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			and the inside as well. I'll repeat that
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			again.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			If you have a thin beard,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			then you have to wash
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			the inside and the outside as well.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			But if you have a thick beard,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			you have to wash
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			the outside
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:18
			only,
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			and not the inside.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			Let me repeat it all again.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			Principle is, if you have a thin beard,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			you have to wash the inside and likewise
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			the outside.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			If you have a thick beard,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			then you only have to wash the outside.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			How do I know if I have a
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			thin beard or a thick beard?
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			They say my beard is a perfect example
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			for this because it has both.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			Okay. So as you can see my brothers
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			and my sisters, you can see the skin
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			behind my beard.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			They say if you can see the skin
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			behind your beard, then that is considered to
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			be a thin beard. So this part of
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			my beard here, you would have to make
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			sure that you do the inside and the
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:02
			outside as well.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			As for this
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			part, this is not considered to be a
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			thin bed because you can't see the skin
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:10
			behind
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			the bed.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			Right? So that would be considered to be
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			a thick bed.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			You will only have to wash the outside
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17
			of it.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			You will only have to wash the lahir
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			the outside of it.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			We
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			also mentioned that the face is from here,
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			all the way up to here, right to
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:27
			the chin.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			What about,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			The beard that is growing under
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34
			my chin.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			Okay, like this part for example.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			The majority of scholars, they hold the view
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			that you have to wash the outside only.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			You don't have to,
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			wash the inside.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			But like I said earlier, the sunnah of
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			the messian sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, it's a
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			sunnah practice, and we know that the difference
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			between a sunnah and that which is
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			obligatory is sunnah.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			If you do it, you get a reward
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			for it. And if you don't, you're not
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			gonna get a sin, and that act of
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			worship is still correct. However, if I say
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			something is mandatory,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			like washing the beer that's on my face
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			here, k, whether it's thin or thick.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			We mentioned the principle of how to go
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:15
			about it.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			That case is an obligation,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			and if you leave of an obligation,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			you're,
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			you're going to get a sin for it.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			And if pillar is depending on it,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			then your pillar could either be correct or
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			incorrect, and based on that, your can
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			be rendered invalid.
