So the chapter regarding the the description of
Wudu
and those sunnahs of Wudu and those farthest
acts of Wudu,
and a mention of Istinja
and Istinjamar.
Go ahead and read.
You sit sit here, sit closer so that
the people listening at home can hear you.
Yeah. So the Istinja itself is not a
ritual act. What is this Istinja?
Means to be saved from something.
Here, it means the
of your your your your, feces and urine,
to to basically to wipe them off, clean
yourself of them. So he says
is not,
something that
is
must be connected to wudu
nor is it considered one of the sunun
of wudu nor one of the obligatory acts
of it. Meaning, it's
known why you're doing a to remove
from your body.
It's not itself a ritual act. Although it
is a in the sense that it's a
sunnah not to walk around with, like, you
know, feces stuck to your backside or whatnot.
But, it's not a part of at any
rate. And some people, they think that, like,
oh, you have to connect the 2 of
them. You you don't.
Although, you know, why is it that some
people think that it's because it's a
custom of our, pious elders to be in
a state of all the time. So many
of them would make right after using the
bathroom and things like that. So he mentions
this to push away the the possible misunderstanding
that that it's a it's a sunnah that,
like, make. It's a sunnah of wudu or
it's of istinja
to have the wudu connected to it. The
istinja itself is not an act of worship,
rather it is a fulfillment of the the
the ritual obligation for a person not to
have
on them.
And,
the is an act of worship in the
Maliki school in the in the
in including the Jamur, all the except for
the Hanafi school. They consider the wudu to
be an act of worship. But this, you
know, making eastern jazz not part of it.
So for example, if a person wants to
make a really good wudu, whereas this hadid
the process
the person who acts etcetera.
The person who makes wudu and, like, pure
perfects their wudu. Like, you don't have to
just go and drop your pants and wash
your backside.
If there's nothing there, it's not actually part
of the it's not actually part of the,
it's not actually part of the woo hoo.
On a cultural note,
Tucker Carlson,
in one of his many dumb tirades that
he, gets caught mouthing off
while
things are recording, which you would think someone
who's in media would have more common sense.
But, you know,
he he,
he he he deprecates Iraqis for not using
toilet paper. And I'm like, okay, buddy. You
don't make a sinja. I'm pretty sure that
I'm pretty sure we won this one this
round. Like
you know what I mean? Like, that's not
we won that one pretty hands down. Yes.
You can say a lot of things about
Muslims. Don't know how to park on Friday.
Don't know how to whatever. You can you
can you know, the argument can be made,
but this one, we we won. So go
ahead.
Right. So he says
he says, it's not it's not part of,
nor is it a ritual act by extension.
The only the only point of it is
the to remove
filth from the body
through it, through which is
with water,
or which
is
the name literally means like with like
Jamarai is like like a stone using rocks
to wipe yourself, like dry wipe yourself.
But, is anything that's dry.
So toilet paper would be in the hook
of is And,
they
also, what they used to do, in the
subcontinent in the old days, they used to
use clay tablets.
You know, the clay that's from the earth,
you just dry out like like a small
tablet and use it to wipe yourself.
So whatever dry thing you used to to
wipe yourself,
You get rid of the so that when
you pray, there's none of the ritual impurity
on your body,
like like it is on Tucker Carlson. So
yeah.
Right. So he says that you don't need
to have the the the intention of of
ritual purification when you're making a stanza,
nor do you have to have the intention
of ritual purification when you're washing clothes.
This brings up another issue which is
that of dry cleaning.
Is it is the removal
of najasat from the clothing, is it a
ritual act? Yes or no? And if the
answer is no,
then there's a whole discussion with regards to,
do you really need to have ma'amutlaq,
right? That water which is
or can you use other solvents or whatever
to get rid of the as long as
you're actually factually getting rid of all of
it.
And so that discussion is there, and it's
a long discussion, the details of which you
can leave for when we read Khalil
Insha'Allah. Say what I mean?
But,
you know,
I read a couple of of Khalil from
my
through Skype later on even though I'm an
ardent like enemy of Skype.
What are you gonna do?
But, you don't know how many times, you
know, I make Dua in Ramadan and and
all of them malakif and masahid in between
the jamarat and in between the rukhan and
the imakam.
That Allah give us the tawfiq that before
we die that we can read all of
these books.
So
give all of us so much tawfiq.
Go ahead.
So this is Istan Jah, the the the
description of how Istan Jah is performed is
that a person should,
begin from
the
What? That first you wash your hands,
and then, so a person's hand should be
clean first.
And then that person will
wash the
place where the, urine leaves from from the
front,
which I guess is a little bit different
depending on your gender.
And then that person will will wipe,
from the back
exit, which is, I guess, similar
regardless of gender.
That which is
that which is there from. He says here
means, literally means harm, but the it's just
a euphemism for for for
for feces.
And he'll wash it either with madar. Madar
is like earth,
clay.
Well, or other than that, meaning stone or
toilet paper, whatever, or with with a person's
hand.
Then after that, a person will wipe the
the hand with the earth,
in the dirt.
And this is this is here the analog
for, like, the life we live here is
that it's not like you don't, like, go
out of the bathroom, go outside, and wipe
the
the earth. The analog the reason he mentions
earth here is because it's soap.
Your hands, when they're dirty and you don't
have soap, you go out in the field
and you wipe it in the in the
dirt, and you actually, you know, like, wet
the dirt a little and wipe it on
your hands, and it gets off everything.
In fact,
at the risk of everybody thinking, you know,
that I'm a backwards moolah anyway, which at
one point,
maybe I cared, but then I did I
don't care anymore
because a a lot of the backwards stuff
actually is cooler than,
like, whatever normal things people do. At the
risk of, like, being there one more time
and then everybody, talking crap about me for
that, it actually is better than soap.
It actually is better than soap. When your
hands are dirty, I mean, you don't it
doesn't have to be like You don't have
to, like,
you know,
make your hand dirty with anything. Like, you
know, you have oil or whatever, go try
it sometime. Go go to the backyard, you
know, where there's some clean clean dirt and,
you know, put your hand in it and
then then put a little water and, like,
wipe it all over your hand and then,
like, see how nice and clean your skin
feels. It's really actually it's really nice. And
a lot of the stuff that people pay
a lot of money for,
to have in the soap, like, the extra
bell and whistle type ingredients that make it,
like, real fancy.
A lot of stuff is the stuff that's
in earth anyway.
So,
we did that, you know, because the I
read it in in Pakistan
was also it's it was in the, it
was in the village,
like, in the, like, undeveloped village.
And the do this oftentimes on purpose in
order to get away from the nonsense of
the city, either the political heat or the
cut cultural nonsense or both. And so, that
would happen. You know, you you you don't
have, like, you we had to wait to
use the restroom and make and things like
that.
Like 700 students and, like, it's like, 16
bathrooms and 6 like, 12 showers.
So,
you know, and then and then and there's
no soap either. So you go, you wash
your hands with water, and then when they're
still wet, you go out in the field,
and you rub it in the dirt, and
then you wash it real nice, and then
afterward, like, at first, I was like
so this is the of Allah slightly deviating
from 5th Darsis. The of Allah that I
went to Mauritania first.
After Mauritania, Madras in Pakistan, like, felt like
the Hilton because you're like, oh, dude. There's,
like, water within walking distance, and, like, there's
actually a building we can live in and
stuff. So it was like it was actually
like a step step up in Dunya. You
know? Although for, even Pakistan
purposes, it was really, really rough. And,
and then Pakistan, Madrasa are really rough compared
to the Darshan Azami, Madras, and other places.
And, like, you know, you have to go
quite a bit, like, up the scale before
you get to you you Chicago and things
like that.
So,
so, like, yeah. At first, once or twice,
you do it, and you're like, ew, gross.
I guess it's better than nothing. I don't
wanna, like, die of the disease. Then after
a while, you're like, wait. This is actually
better than so you use soap, and you're
like, my hands don't feel as clean.
So what are you gonna do? So that's
what that's what he's talking about here,
about sticking your hand in the earth. You
don't need to actually go outside like you
have, like, you know, infeasiated hands. You know,
like, run outside your apartment or whatever and,
like, you know,
you
know, the brothers the brothers from from the
other side of the, other side of the
road, they're like, yeah. Don't mess with this
guy. He crazy. You know?
If I was gonna rob someone and I
saw a guy doing that, I'd be like,
I don't wanna rob this guy.
Yeah. So
the first is the dry wipe,
with the toilet paper, with the whatever.
And then, thereafter,
there's the wet wipe, which is water.
And you pour the water,
enough to, you know, clean clean off the
entire
exit.
Means what?
What does
mean?
Yeah. Relax.
So don't don't be like because what will
happen if you if you if you're straining
the inside of the the the the maharaj
will be closed and it will hide some
najasa inside of it. So a person relax
down there.
You you know, it's not it's not a
by the way. It's a very fun because
some people, like, really get excited about fift
and they do weird things. It's not a
to, like, stick your finger inside and wash
because you're not gonna wash the inside of
your, intestines out. And I don't know. I'm
not a medical professional, but me, Alwy, can
tell you. I don't think it's healthy even
if you tried. Right? And in in most
cases, probably not. Right? So, so yes. Just
the just the maharaj,
the outer half of it. But if you
tense up too much, then the you're not
gonna be able to clean that. And then
that not that that whatever is left inside
there that's hidden by the tensely closed,
maharaj is going to then leak out later,
which is not good. So just relax,
and wipe and,
get the get get your wash and wipe
on,
you know, over a
generous area,
and keep doing it until you're clean, meaning
there's no more effect of nudges left on
the body. Go ahead.
Right. So don't try to wash it inside
of the
the the exit
point. Go ahead. But
I use and.
Yeah.
And you don't and you don't make, a
wudu from breaking wind. Or sorry. You don't
make a from breaking wind. There's some people
who do it, but the very
consistently mentioned that this is not part
of taqwa. Someone's like, well, what if something
came out with the wind? Then it's not
from breaking wind, and then it's because something
came out. So go ahead and please wash
yourself and, you know, do me a favor,
change your clothes as well. But, like, as
long as nothing
came out, said the one who makes a
from breaking wind is not one of us.
Meaning, it's a type of, like, neurosis that's,
like, not.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. It breaks your. Again,
if something came out, you're welcome to watch
that. If nothing came out, which nothing usually
came comes out, then then just, you know,
make wudu and call it a day.
This is this is what's meant by extremism.
When you have hadith or of the or
when you have
when you have, for example,
statements even of the of the,
against extremism,
What will happen is you'll have a set
of people who don't take this deen seriously.
They'll be like, do you have to pray
5 times a day on time every day?
That's a bit extreme. That's not extreme. This
is sunnah the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
The Madara of what's extreme is what the
Rasulullah sallam and his asham and whom their
practice was. So this is extreme
that a person should make
We'll do from because they didn't used to
do it. If it was part of, they
would have done it.
You know, or, like, example, like, you know,
the 5 times a day example. Right? There
are some people, they have, like, conditions. Some
of them, they're born out of their genuine
fear of Allah Ta'ala
that, like, you know, they're so afraid of,
like, sleeping through Fajr that they would can't
sleep at night.
That's extreme. That's a that's a illness you
should get that treated.
You're not getting rewarded for that. It may
have originated in a good place,
but it's not something you wanna you wanna
try to sustain as a practice. You're not
getting you know, once you know that you're
not really getting rewarded for it.
Rather, try your best and then, you know,
sleep on it. These are examples these are
examples of what what what's meant by Hulu.
You know? The
the,
this is one of those things. There are
some people, their practices are like that. And
the funny thing is, if you don't actually
study the sunnah, then you won't know what
that is. There are certain things will seem
to you like extremisms and certain things will
seem to you like laxities.
So you only know by studying. This whole,
custom we have nowadays about people being like,
oh, if the prophet was here, he'd be
x y z. He'd be he'd do x
y z. But the whole point is that
the prophet everything he does is
and the understanding
so you can't really extrapolate that. I think
it's a bad adab with the prophet to
say that even if you're probably right, I'm
telling unless you're doing it from based on
some sort of data. So if you read
the Sahasita and you've, you know,
studied the sun of the rest of the,
you know, in-depth,
then you're you're allowed through the through the
institution of to
try to figure out what that would have
been. But just a blank say, like, I
think if the process was around today, he
would have worn out of, like, worn a
suit and tie or he would have, you
know, gotten a bank mortgage or he would
have not had a problem with gay people
or whatever this, that, or the other thing.
Not have a problem with gay people in
the sense that he would have he would
have endorsed their lifestyle or whatever.
Not in the sense that the prophet actually
didn't have problem with any human being. He
wished good for everybody even even sinners, even
Kufar.
So, you know, that's that's a bit of
a that's not,
that's not really that's not really It's not
and it's not good.
So yeah. So this is this is making
from
from just breaking wind. Unless unless you have
a reasonable suspicion something came out,
if it's just the wind, then it's not
part of being to make Istinja from it.
Yeah. Because again, and that has to do
with what we just learned right now. That
istinja is itself not an act of worship.
It's only there to remove.
If there's no najasa there, you don't do
a.
Go ahead.
Yeah. So whoever whoever
does dry wipe,
with 3
here it says stones, but stones means 3
objects. It could be the clay. It could
be toilet paper, whatever.
That that they use 3 objects and the
3rd third object comes out clean,
then that suffices. Meaning,
if a person urinates or defecates
and it comes out
for lack of a better way of explaining,
it comes out clean.
Meaning, it's not like diarrhea that's splashing
all over the place, or it's not, like,
uncontrolled,
or it's not, like, slurpy and slushy, and
you know, forgive me for it's it's the
Babafik we're reading. Right? Rather, it comes out
it comes out relatively in a controlled way,
and then a person wipes it 3 times.
And the 3rd time, the the the wipe
is, the the third thing that's wiped comes
out without any,
effect of
urine or feces or whatever, an on it.
That's enough.
So what are the the conditions we gave?
One is that it didn't spread around too
much,
too much further than the bare minimum that
it could spread around from coming out, whether
it's your inner feces. And the second is
that you wipe until you have a confirmation
that there's nothing more left to wipe.
So that's what he means that you use
3 and the third one comes out clean.
If you use 1 and the first one
comes out clean,
which I guess is somewhat of conundrum. If
you use 1 and the second one comes
out clean, then you don't have to wipe
the third one. He mentions 3 because the
sunnah to do good things and and and
odd numbers.
But the point is is that if you
wipe and then you come to a point
where there's nothing left to wipe, that's enough.
You can pray. You can do all your
other things. Right? As a kid growing up,
my, like, oath of, like, life like like,
my blood oath of loyalty to the Lorta
was such that I didn't think that, like,
if you wiped with your with, like, just
a dry toilet paper, it would suffice you,
but it does.
It's not optimal, however.
The optimal way is what? Not to dry
wipe and then to wet wipe both of
them together. That's the that's the optimal way.
Both of them separately, those suffice as long
as, again, it doesn't get smeared around too
much and it you, are able to
make that tick that that, you're able to,
like, be sure that there's really nothing left
there.
Nothing left to be wiped off. Go ahead.
Yeah. So the dry wipe he mentions if
you would do 3 wipes and the third
one comes out without any,
yeah, without any adjustment on it, it's sufficient.
And so but water
is cleaner
and is more pleasant,
and the olemar are more happy with it.
Right? Because it's possible something dry may be
stuck and it's not coming off.
But,
like, the water being, like, whatever the universal
solvent
for our chemistry loving,
listeners.
The water having washed it is cleaner, and
also the water has the property of tatir
that it's ritually purifying, which is something toilet
paper and rocks doesn't have.
At least the rocks don't have it unless
you're in Tayamu.
And, this is the
the,
hadith of the prophet
that the Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam once
asked Ansar Radhi Allahu Anhu,
what an amazing people they were.
So that the ayah
came
down
in
Allah. Right? Allah loves the people that are,
habitual and their repentance to him, and he
loves
the, people who,
are are,
people who make make
that are people who are
constantly purifying themselves. Right?
What's the difference between
and?
Both of them are
the right? But the
the means to do the meaning of the
the mujarad with some takaluf.
To take difficulty that you're not just clean
but you put some effort into being clean.
So, Allah Ta'ala said,
Oh, gathering of the Ansar,
Allah ta'ala has praised you that this ayah
has is is is been revealed in your
in in in your,
praise.
Allah has praised you
with goodness,
with regards to your with regards to purification.
So what is your purification?
They said
that we when we make a we do
we do so with water. And so
the said,
that's that's it. So keep doing it.
So it's actually a sunnah to use both
the the the the
the the the minimum the bare minimum is
to do a dry wipe if the conditions
are sufficient for it. Then after that is
to
do a
use water.
And then after that is to dry and
dry and and and and water. So use
the toilet paper and then use the
use the water thereafter.
Right? So they have those weird, like,
those weird, like, water hoses and things like
that where you don't actually wipe yourself.
So that would be substandard in that sense.
It's better actually to wipe yourself and then
and then,
use the use the water.
Go ahead.
Yeah. So whoever, whoever,
whoever,
didn't urinate or defecate, because we described the
process of what to do when you do
that just now.
But that person is making wudu for,
having broken their wudu,
like breaking wind or something like that, or
sleeping or something other than those 2,
which we discussed in the previous stars,
from those things that make wudu
an obligation.
That person should wash their hands before
inserting them in,
in in in the vessel from which they're
gonna make. Go ahead, woman.
Oh, okay. So hold on there. So he'll
mention a number of sunnah. So he repeats
that first thing. Is this a sunnah for
Wudu to,
wash the hands before putting them into the
the vessel from which Wudu was made. Obviously,
the idea being that the,
the or the concept here is that you're
making you're taking water out of something in
order to make.
So what they used to do in the
old days, like, there would be a fountain
or a well or whatever. You get a
pitcher of water up, and then you would
take the water from the. So the the
first thing you should do is tip the
water over your hands and wash it. Washing
the hands in the beginning of wudu is
not is not actually part of a wudu.
It's a sunnah to it's technically you're washing
your hands before the wudu starts. It's a
sunnah attached to.
And the reason for it is that the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said who
you know, because people would have to put
their hands in the in the in the
vessels in order to make wudu. He says
that a person who's, going to make wudu,
who slept,
let them wash their hands first. Because if
you're just slept, you know, theoretically, your hands
should be clean. That's why. Because a person,
a person doesn't know where to just hand
sleep. So you could be scratching yourself in
weird places or doing weird stuff. You don't
know where your hand is. If you stick
your hand into the into the water, this
is like disgusting. So the sunnah is what
to tip a little bit of water out
first and then wash your hands so your
hands are clean. That way, when you get
your water when you stick your hand in
the
in the in the, the the vessel from
which the water is going to be,
from which the water is going to be
poured or taken, that your hands should at
least be clean before you you go inside
of there. Now
this shunts us or diverts us to a
slightly,
different discussion that we should have somewhat of
a a very basic Usuli discussion
with regards to the marathib of
the different levels of stuff you do or
the different levels of, of of,
importance of things.
So you have something called a a a
a rukan or a shard.
There there are 2 different things. There's a
very slight difference between them. The similar the
the similarity between a rukan and a shard.
Rukan means like a pillar or or a
a a a a load bearing pillar or
wall,
and a shard
is a condition.
So both of them are the same in
the sense that both a and a, if
they're not performed, then the act is not
valid.
So if we say this is a shard
of voodoo or it's a rukhan of voodoo
or a fard of voodoo, these are all,
they all mean the same in the sense
if that thing is done,
then the then then the act is valid.
If that thing is not done, the act
is not valid.
The difference between the word and the word
is that so both of them are
is like a general term. Is that that
that which is internal to the act, and
is that,
which is which which pre precedes the act.
So for example,
when you're gonna pray, having wudu is fard.
Right?
So which type of fard is wudu for
the prayer? Is it a a a of
the prayer or a shard of the prayer?
Sure. The shard is not actually part of
the salat itself,
but it is a legal,
a legal necessity before the the the prayer,
starts.
So that's what that's the fard level. Then
after the fard level, there's there's something called,
something that's
recommended.
Okay?
And that has several levels as well. Okay?
The highest level of which is what we'll
refer to as a sunnah.
A sunnah, like a sunnah of the salat
or a sunnah of the wudu, a sunnah
of hadj, a sunnah of this, a sunnah
of that. When we say something is a
sunnah, we say that it is something that's
so important that without it, that act will
be deficient. There'll be deficiency in the act,
but the act will still be valid. Just
like a human being who's missing an arm
is still a human being, but, like, it
would be nice to have that other that
missing arm. Right? You'd
be like, oh, sweet arm.
And, like, you know
or, like, you'd be, arm.
If you don't have it. Right? But you're
still a human being. Right? We don't say
anyone who doesn't have the arm is any
less of a human. But it would be
that you would see, like it's it's like
kind of a no brainer. A person if
they had had the chance, they would not
miss that. So we'll do have certain sunnas.
Okay. Then afterward, then within the category of
mustahaba,
there are those things that are that are
not sunnas.
Not necessarily meaning that they don't originate with
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, but those
are the things they use the word,
those are those things that are adornments of
the wudu.
If you if you did it,
it's if you don't do it, you're still
your act is still alright.
And if you did it, it would be
that much nicer.
Right?
I do you know, can you bench press
33
£100? Probably not.
Maybe, but probably I'm gonna venture a guest
that you can't yet. Inshallah one day. 200.
Make make to the gym, you know.
Brother, where where are you from again? From
Guinea. Guinea. You guys probably bench press £200
when you're, like, 7.
We're from India. We don't bench press £200
unless our forefathers came very recently from Afghanistan
or from
somewhere else
other than where we're from.
Bombay doesn't send like Olympic champion weightlifters, does
it? You can do business in Bombay, but
you're not
I don't think I I don't think I
can bench press £200, Shay. That's not it.
£200, that's too much, man.
So,
that's okay. Anyway, bench press is is just
prima donnas. All the, like, the the the
pretty boys wanna show off. You know, the
the I know men who can bench press
more than they can squat. I don't see
in any, like, practical way how that's useful
for a human being. But,
sir,
it's because of comments like this, the sisters
don't listen to my because they're like, this
is completely irrelevant to me.
Anyway,
the the the the the issue is is
what is it? Those
those must have hadbaat. They may actually be
sunun in the sense that the prophet
did them, but to miss them is not
going to,
be deficiency in in the act. So if
a person misses a sunnah, oftentimes the the
the will say it's better to repeat the
act again.
Whereas if you missed the
Fadila, you missed it. No. No. You know,
get it next time Insha Allah.
And then afterward, you have those things that
are,
those things that will completely invalidate an act
if you do them, and then you have
those things that are.
The
for for the acts of worship in general
are those things if you do them, you
will invalidate the reward of the act of
the act without invalidating the act.
So it's kind of pointless. The person who's
trying to just get it done for that
person is not a big deal. The person
who actually, like, has hope that they're gonna
see the the the the good effect of
this in front of Allah one day, for
that person, means something really bad. It's not
a good thing.
You want to avoid it as much as
possible.
And that's the whole issue. If you're salat,
if you don't understand, this is like kind
of the the Sufi part of the
the the whole fit. Right? Is that you
have to believe when you're doing something that
one day this is not a waste of
time. One day I'm gonna see the benefit
of this in front of my
You know, in this world and in the
hereafter, I'm gonna see the benefit of this.
That's the person for who which I congratulate
them that your your Islam is worthwhile. The
rest of them who are just doing it,
like, you know, like,
it's like superstitiously,
they shouldn't expect any benefit on this side,
and they shouldn't respect expect any reward on
the other side. And you're an idiot. If
it doesn't have any benefit, why are you
even doing it over here? I mean, I'm
not saying don't do it, but I'm just
saying, like, if you really don't believe it's
gonna have any,
benefit, you know, choose a side.
Choose a choose a side.
You know, either it's something that you decide
that is beneficial to you, then do it
properly, do it well, or you're just doing
it because your parents did it, then you're
like, well, my parents are not gonna be
able to, like, save me on the day
of judgment, so I should probably figure out
if this is worth doing or not. Because,
half
blanketness,
in Dean is is is no Dean at
all.
Not from a point of view, but from
a point of view, it's no Dean at
all. From a point of view, don't be
like, oh, I just shit. Call me. I
don't make.
No.
Anyway, go on.
Well,
mother too. Yeah. So these are the sunan
for those who so he he will describe
he'll describe how you make.
And this is one of the reasons I
love this book is that it it teaches
you, like, as if you're a kid, like,
learning for the first time. Because there's a
lot of things we assume we know about
stuff we don't know because we didn't learn
learn Deen from the. We learned it from
Facebook and
usually fights in Facebook and, you know, emails
and things like that.
And, like, you know,
lectures by people who probably shouldn't be lecturing
at all.
So but, you know, you have to fish
out. Then the problem is there are 2
ways of presenting the the fiqh. Right? Ibnu
Asir is like that, like, these are the
of wudu, and he'll, bam, he'll list them
all. Then he'll be like, these are the
sunroom wudu, and he'll list them all. But
it's like it's like you took, an animal,
slaughtered it, and then, like, made ground beef
in one pile, and then, like, bones in
another pile, and steaks in another pile, and
the head and the organs in another pile.
So it's kinda hard sometimes to put it
back together again until you and and tell
you've
unless you've seen the animal
live. So this is like the live animal
model of teaching Fip here.
But here, he'll he'll he'll kinda
give a little bit of comment about,
about, in the list fashion as well. So
he goes the first, Sunnah is what is
to wash the hands. The second Sunnah is
what is to
rinse water in one's mouth, which is called
because the water goes in your mouth or
at least, classical Arabic maintains.
Yeah. Well?
Uh-huh.
Okay. So is to what? Is to take
water in your hand and
sniff it up into your nose.
You don't have to sniff it up so
much that it kinda it completely floods your
sinuses because that hurts.
Just sniff it up a little bit
to get up in your nostrils to clear
whatever was there in your nostrils. Okay? And
then istinthars to blow it out.
Said don't blow it like a donkey. Don't
just
sniff it and like that. No. Blow 1
nostril out at a time. You get more
pressure on air force on each nostril, and
you get get more of what you want
out, and and it will be controlled. You
have, like, your hand on your nose, so
it's not just blasting all over the place,
which is gross.
Rather rather, have your hand over your nose
and, blow one nostril out at a time.
And you don't have to do it, like,
super hard either. Just so you don't
sniff the water up hard.
People die of that. Like, there's amoebic,
and I I don't know if there's, like,
every now and then, there's, like, amoeba and
the, like, water supply, and people neti pot
it and, like, it goes, like, way too
far up and then, like, crosses the break
barrier and goes up in your brain and
eats your brain. And then then people are
like, oh, shit. Is it a excuse to,
like, not, you know, do a and I'm
like, no. Just don't sniff it so hard
that, like, you can feel it in your
eyes. You know? Just sniff a little bit.
And then when you blow it out also,
you don't have to, like, blow it out
so hard that you're, like, blasting your, your
sinuses and things like that. Just do so
gently.
Do so gently, Inshallah. I mean, you think
about
how gentle of a person he was and,
like like, if you were to think about,
like, how he would have done this,
you know,
it's you know, with class, with gentleness, with
you know, just take your time.
You know? You don't have to you don't
have to, again, like, blow your your brain
out. Yeah.
You can do that. Right? If you're
that's how the mummies that have used to
mummify the mummies. Right? They used to, like,
they stick a hook up the nose and
pull the brain off the nose. So, yeah,
I mean, that's not the sunnah, but if
that's how you wanna roll, you know, It's
a free country, I guess. Right?
Yeah.
And like wiping over the ears,
he'll get to it eventually. That that's also
a. Go ahead.
Yeah. And then all he's like, all the
rest of the stuff I'm about to say
is far.
Go
ahead.
Yeah. So so,
when when a person then gets up to
make from sleep or from any other thing
that breaks the,
Some of the ulama said, when you have
this expression called a anything,
it means,
it's a thing but not that big of
a thing.
Whereas there are other expressions that will
indicate more more jazam like that. This is,
like, a really important part of the here.
The Bismillah thing is basically saying,
that it's it's it's it's not that big
of a,
it's not that big of a deal.
And, so one of the that's narrated from
Malik
is that he considered it a sunnah desi
Bismillah
before making wudu.
But some of the aslaf, they actually considered
it not to be part of the.
And there are 3 different
there are 3 different narrations from Malik. People
report Malik had 3
3 different things they report from Malik as
his opinion on this matter,
which is somewhat confusing.
So there are 3 3 opinions, but Khalil
who is basically the mujah have the madhab,
and the one who went, you know, like,
little
little, little ficky altercations like this happened. He's
like the referee who says that, okay. Out
of these 3, this is probably the most
likely thing that Malik meant.
He says, yeah. But it's it's a it's
a fabila. It's like the lowest,
the lowest level of sunnah that a person
should say before they before they make wudu,
and this is corroborated by the hadith of
the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
that a person hasn't perfected their wudu if
they haven't
mentioned the name of Allah Ta'ala on it.
And this is also a general rule,
that every every
every matter that has any sort of importance
whatsoever,
person should take the name of Allah before
before doing it.
And, that's but that's
for important things. The Ulema meant or for
good things. You know, the Ulema mentioned the
person who says Bismillah before drinking wine. They
there's a discussion as to whether that's kufr
or not.
And it's kufr if a person does it
istighfafan, like, jokingly.
Knowing that it's haram, and they mentioned the
name of the Lord when when doing it
at that time. If a person said that
a force of habit and or and or
they didn't mean that, then then, you know,
we won't say that. But the point is
anything that that you're doing that's good,
there's a discussion. Is it that the prophet
said Bismillah before doing this?
That discussion may happen. But in general, it's
a general rule that the prophet said out
that in in when you're doing a good
thing, it's good to say Bismillah before. You
know, like, is there a hadith that to
say
before doing your homework or whatever? I don't
know if homework existed in Medina in those
days.
But, like, you know, if you're doing homework,
like, Adel, he's gonna become a doctor so
he can help people not to make money.
So,
so the you know, so for him to,
like, start his homework with, that would be.
That would be Matlub.
So I posted you you said I don't
know if anyone saw that. You guys should
make dua for me. I'm such a bad
person on social media. You should be able
to kinda shave how you're feeling, guilt me
into stopping.
But, like, you know, posted the hadith of
the sun and because, you know, whatever full
house is, like, bribing
bribing people to get, like, faulty,
and fraudulent college admissions now. So,
hadith of the prophet
whoever seeks knowledge
from that knowledge, which should be sought for
the,
for the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala,
so that they can gain some piece of
the dunya. That person on the day of
judgment will not
will not smell the fragrance of Jannah. Meaning
that they may go eventually, but they ain't
getting in on round 1,
Which is scary. It's so scary. People shouldn't
people should know this. Parents should be like,
ah, to their kids, like, you're gonna go
to Jandam. Don't do that. But in instead,
they actually goad them and prod them on
that track. And the thing is this, it's
hard. It's hard because nowadays, education is a,
is like a synonymous with career.
And
so, you know, it's difficult. I don't know.
I guess, traditionally, the the the Muslims, they
used to, you know, their what they thought
of as, like, the primary
means to getting wealth
was business and trade. I'm not when I
say that, I'm talking about, like, a slap.
I'm not talking about later on, you have
all sorts of jokers trying to become qadi
in order to get power and influence,
and it, you know, leads to some really
humiliating situations for the Sharia,
or for the people of the Sharia, I
should say. But,
but yeah. You know, go start a business.
Business is where all the money's at anyway.
Job is not where the money's at. Business
is where the money's at.
If you wanna make money, just be like,
hey. I'm making money. The problem is that
when you try to do both, you end
up with none,
and that's really sad. Anyway, coming back to
the, coming back to the the yeah. I
I see you, man. I'll I'll get to
you. Don't worry.
The the Bismillah.
He says he says,
meaning they didn't consider it to be that
strenuously of an important part of wudu that
you should be like, no. You have to
say bismillah.
It's like a thing. The scales tip slightly
in the favor of saying it before before
your Wulu. But if you ain't been saying
it or whatever, you forget it one time,
it's not a cost to freak out or
freak out on another person if they forget.
Yes.
So if you're in the bathroom Uh-huh. Is
it sufficient just to say it in your
head?
That's another issue. So when you when you
say bathroom, it's it's Makru probably to take
the name of Allah,
but but the the the definition of bathroom
for that
for that purpose is, like, the specific area,
not the entire room, but the specific area
where you're in. So I'd say, if you're
on the toilet, you probably shouldn't do it.
But if you're on the sink next to
the toilet, it's not that big of an
issue.
That being said, right,
the the Muslims when they would design their
homes
in the old days, they would not they
would have the the area separated, you know,
this idea of bathing in the same place
where you defecate and urinate, this is is
is Makru, and it's, like, gross. It it
is gross, actually. And, like, what will happen
is a person will literally
walk across the same area after they get
out of the shower,
therefore,
therefore, spreading a lot of the bacteria that
they're trying to avoid by taking the shower
in the first place.
But what can you do? You know, these
houses are oftentimes designed by people of Kufr
and, like,
they just don't get it. You know, they're
the people who wear a $10,000 suit and
then urinate in a urinal, and you see
the cuff of the pant pant, like, you
know, drag across the yellow drops on the
on the floor of the bathroom. And,
you know? For any observer, like, oh, this
guy looks sharp, but, like, for a person
who
knows Dean, you're like, gross, and I just
you know?
So,
yeah, you can say it as long as
you're not actually on the toilet. Although, if
you're able to design your house in the
future, it's good to separate them. Yeah. Can
I say something? Yeah. I heard, like, if
you were in the bathroom Mhmm. You can
just think about it in your head. You
can. And you don't have to say it
anyway. But if you say it but if
you say it, that's okay too, as long
as you're not actually on the toilet toilet.
I heard you don't have to say it
anyway.
Yeah. You don't have to say it anyway.
Think about it. Yeah.
That's a very that's a very you know,
I know we
there's a hadith of the prophet and the
is in the heart of every believer.
You know? That's why they don't consider the
test me a sharpen the in the in
the slaughter of an animal, but the Jamhur
comes down against them.
Go ahead.
Okay. Yeah. So it's also a sunnah that
your vessel that you're making wudu from should
be on your right hand side.
Obviously, we don't make from vessels anymore.
And so he he makes this
this
this this reason for the
for the for the the tayaman of the
Ina to be may have the vessel on
the right hand side because it's easier to
get to. If that's the reason, then it's
probably better to stand dead in center of
the sink. If it's the the, then it's
probably
better to have the sink slightly to your
right, I guess, for whatever we're doing.
Go ahead. There's a speculation on my part,
not a. Go on.
Yeah. So then you wash your hands 3
times,
before putting them before putting them and dipping
them into the vessel.
And so again, washing is not it doesn't
require a whole lot of water. You just
wipe your hands 3 times. Go on.
Yeah. If a person urinates or defecates, then
they make sure to get rid of that.
We talked about this.
Go ahead. Then the person makes. Go
ahead.
Uh-huh.
Go ahead.
Yeah. So
he he says that after washing your hands,
three times, then a person will take the
water
and
and suck it out of his hand and
and rinse it in his mouth three times.
If he wishes to, he can do that
from one handful of water. You don't have
to take new water every time.
And if a person uses fingers and just
kinda wipes his teeth,
like as if it's a miswak or even
use a miswak at that time, that's that's
a good time to do it.
I think the Hanafis, they they prefer that
the process happened before the wudu because and
their mouth have the
bleeding of the gums will will break your
wool
blue. And ours, it doesn't. So this is
the time that it's considered to be.
It's considered to be,
Using misterhab is this is a good time
to
mention that using misterhab is really important.
It's,
that a person should keep their teeth clean
by using the
And it's better to use a miswak than
to use your fingers.
It's but and you can use your fingers
when you don't have a miswak present.
And,
who
is,
who is a great sheikh of the Madhub
and one of the great imams of the
Jamazay Tuna.
For our for the Tunisian public and non
Tunisian public alike.
He, he considered it actually a sunnah. Like,
he considered not just a, but he considered
to be like a sunnah of wudu.
And, the Rasulullah
said, because of saying the Rasulullah
He said that the prophet
said if it I didn't think it would
be
it would be like undue burden and hardship
on my ummah. I would have commanded them
to make before every single salat.
So it's good to have good breath.
And is not just for the teeth. It's
for your gums, and it's for your tongue
as well. It's also to do it in
in all of those places.
Anyhow,
so
this is a time to make miss
makes you walk after
as if he's blowing his nose each nostril
at a time.
And
you can do less than 3 rinses and
less than 3,
sniffing side of blowings of water from your
nose,
if you want to. Meaning that the wudu
is still valid without it.
And then he also mentioned that you can
do
if you want to, you can from 1
cup 1 handful of water. You can take
take a little water and rinse it, spit
it, take a little do all 3 rinses
and all 3 sniffs from one handful of
water if you wish to, or you can
spread them out over 6.
And he says that if you have the
time and the ability, whatever, to spread it
out, the consider it to be superior slightly.
But, like, if you don't have time or
you don't have the patience or you just
prefer not to, it's not really that big
of a deal.
Yeah. Because the the idea is, like, oh,
you touch your lips or you touch your
nose, does that water is that water not
considered used? The answer is no.
Yeah.
I was gonna can you can you elaborate
more on the doing that at the same
time, the rinsing them off of your nose?
Like, you mean, like Yeah. You could do
that as well. You can you can not
only can you do it from the same
cup of water, you can actually do both
at the same time. Like, you can dip
your your lips and your nose in at
the same time and take in water from
your mouth and sniff at the same time.
And you can do that as well because
this is this is another this is another
thing that the
the the or the same doing the in
order is a sunnah. Doing the sunnah as
in order is a is favela.
So breaking the order of the sunnas is
not as big of an issue as breaking
order the order of the.
Like, if you do out of order, it's
valid, but it's like it's deficient somehow.
Whereas if you if you if you put
the out of order a little bit,
it's not as big. The sun is out
of order. It's not as big of a
deal. You seem very intrigued by this
mouth and nose combinational sniffing.
I know. It's intriguing. Yeah. Yeah. You could
try it inshallah. Go home and, like, you
know, have, like, Maliki fick lab.
You know?
Hands on, like, you know, like, Exploratorium,
children's museum type, like, fit class. You know?
Like
What did you learn about today, Jimmy?
So go on.
Go ahead.
Okay. Why don't we why don't we go
ahead and just stop here? We'll continue next
week
