And then goes on that as a
condition of ability for the prayer. There are
obviously other conditions of ability,
but the one that we're going to have
sort of the most, active relationship with
in procuring it for ourselves is going to
be the or
the So even though we can change
aspects of,
using
water, which physically cleanses things,
the fact that it's done on particular body
parts
and in particular manner
means it's not really the water that is
purifying, but it is the abed itself.
So, most definitely in the Medici school,
is seen as an act of worship in
and of itself, even though it's also
a, a prerequisite or condition of
validity
for the
prayer as well.
And some of the Alemaya of Tezquia
of spiritual purification,
they mentioned
that one of the tips or one of
the important things one should consider
if they want to have a hudu or
presence in their prayer
is to have a presence in their hudu,
in their ritual purification beforehand. So even though
it's permissible to speak during the ritual purification,
during the wudu, and to be distracted,
unlike the prayer,
you cannot speak obviously to anyone who you're
praying.
However, it's recommended, and we'll get to this,
I think, probably in the section that comes
very soon.
That one,
try to abstain from that and to try
to focus as much as they can. And
then this, will lead to a greater
presence,
or hubr within the actual prayer itself.
So we have reached the section
dealing with the Farahid al Wulu or Wulu
in general.
And so he divide he's going to divide
it into the introgals of Wudu or the
obligatory actions. Then there's going to be certain
sunan,
certain things that are considered to be,
highly recommended to do that the prophet
always did. Then there's gonna be something called
faba'il
or virtues of wudu
that are also recommended,
but not in the same vein as sunal.
However, when we actually practically do the wudu,
we do it in an order that combines
both fara'id and sunan, that combines both obligatory
acts and recommended acts.
So,
normally, we would do everything.
However,
why would we want to know what is
followed and what is not? Well, in case
we have a paucity of water, in case
we don't have actually enough water to do
all of the, all of the sunnah acts
as well,
in in addition to the obligatory acts, then
this might be a case where we might
be bad as sunnah. But generally speaking, they
did not.
So a section dealing with the obligatory acts
of,
ablution or.
So the integrals or obligatory acts of are
7.
Other schools have us as 4, like the
Hanafi school. Other schools, like the Shepherds School,
have 6. We will see that the Mandikiya
have 7. They all agree that the 4
main body parts, which I'll go over in
a second, all of them agree that that's
chronic, that's obligatory, but then they differ about
certain things after that.
So the first one is the intention at
the onset or at the outset in the
beginning,
that there should be an intention.
And at the very least, that intention should
be there
at the first
integral,
which is going to be washing of the
face.
There are going to be things that are
recommended that come before that,
like washing the hands up until the wrist,
and rinsing the mouth,
and,
rinsing the nose. However,
if you have the intention at the very
beginning, even when washing the hands for the
entire move, you need not repeat the intention
at the the first interval or the first
applicatory act. Suffices you to have it at
the beginning.
But that intention must be there, and you
must not sort of make another intention before
you get to your face. That's what he
means by
And
the will not be affected if you,
lose sight of the intention after washing up
the face. So you need to tell it
at the outset,
practically the washing of the face. Generally, most
people don't think about, do I still have
my attention? Don't have my attention. I would
not worry about all of that.
Just have the intention at the very beginning,
in other words, that I am making this
whole what's the difference between washing with intention,
without intention?
Well, let's say you were outside
and you,
working in the yard or in the garden
or something, and you just wanted to to
rinse off and you actually start to rinse
off, and you almost did pretty much the
same
acts that you do in the logo. However,
you didn't have the intention that you're making
logo. You had the intention of just rinsing
off,
you know, the garden dirt and and so
forth. Then
in this case, that doesn't suffice. You need
to have
the intention.
So that's the first integral, the intention.
You know, when I'm a as the hadith
goes,
I'm a. So I said I'm married by,
said no more, that actions are by intention.
The second one being
washing of the face.
So here,
the
probably
indicative question be, well, what's the face, or
what are the parameters of the face?
So they say
that it's from mumba to sha
where hair normally would grow.
In other words,
right at the top of the forehead
over here. Normally, that's where hair would start
to grow. So that would be the end
of the face.
And
so that we can ensure
that we get all of the face,
then there should be a part of your
hair up here that should also be washed.
Because if we stop right at the hairline,
then you may miss
just maybe a little bit of the actual
face, which is up into
the hairline. So you get part of the
hairline
when you're washing the face.
What if you don't have hair?
If you shaved your head or you're actually
balding in that place,
then, you know, your your hairline is not
gonna start back here. It's still gonna start
over here, but you would
do it from the place where normally your
hairline would be. So a bald man doesn't
have to make his face his whole head.
So it'd be over here in this area,
you know, to to kinda get it there.
And he should go with, you know, the
place where he doesn't have any more doubt.
So at one time in his life, he
did have hair, and he kinda remembers where
it was.
And so he should go a little bit
beyond that just to make sure that he
got the parameters of the face.
What about from,
downwards?
So from, from the vertical top, talking about
the hairline,
downwards here, there's a distinction between someone who
has a beard and someone who doesn't have
a beard.
So
someone who doesn't have a beard, which would
be
most women, if not all of them,
then their face would be where the jawline
this is called the the effect. So you
can't really see it if you might hear
it, but this jaw line here and this
jaw line here where they meet.
Right? So where they meet, which would be
right under the chin.
So if you can see
this point right here, right around the chin,
or someone doesn't have a beard.
That's where it ends at the at the
bottom.
What about someone has a beard?
The whole beard.
So mine is a little bit longer. So
when I have to when I wash my
face, I have to make sure that I
get all the way
to the last the tip of the last
hair on the chin
because that's gonna be included in my face
because my beard is attached to my face.
So that would be the face. If someone
has a beard down to here, then they
actually have to get all the way down
to whatever length of the beard is,
in order to perform the little group properly.
Additionally,
there's a distinction between a light beard and
a heavy beard.
What's the difference? How do we define light
beard and heavy beard? Light beard is one
where the skin can the skin can be
seen through.
So, like, if I'm clack shadow, you know,
stylish
sort of Miami Vice Don Johnson sort of
type of,
you know, stubble,
then
that would be considered
a light beard.
And in that case,
then you would have to actually
the water has to reach the skin and
there has to be what's called takhlil.
Takhlil means that you're running the water in
between the the the beard itself. So if
it's like stubble or very light, then you
have to actually make sure that the water
is penetrating, and this is done by takhlir,
what he describes here as takhlir. Takhlir lahil
kafifa, so getting the fingers in between and
running the fingers in between the the strands
of the beard so that the water reaches
the skin.
In the case of a heavier beard like
mine, I need not have I don't need
to have the water penetrate the skin. So
I just need to make sure that the
water reaches the whole surface
of the beard
in order for the water to be valid.
And that includes,
you know, the mustache,
and it includes everything that is visible on
from the face. So eyebrows
and eyelids.
And then if you have
wrinkles in your forehead, then to try to
or, you know, in in in the face
and so forth, try to get in between.
Again, the idea is not to be obsessive
about it. One should, you know, think about,
like, what's what's the thing? But you want
to do it in a way that, you
know, you do it thoroughly enough that you've
kind of covered all of those
those aspects.
And then from side to side is from
ear to ear.
So from here,
right, where the the whiteness
starts over here between between the beard and
the ear and then also the same side.
So that is the size, so that is
the parameters
of the face.
Additionally, the manner by which we go and
wash the face.
Right? A common mistake that's mentioned in other
books is people sometimes they take the water
and they splash their face, which is
wrong. What they should
do
is you have both hands if you're under
a sink or you're getting from a vessel,
Both hands like this. You bring the water
to the top of the forehead
over here. So you're bringing it over here.
You're not doing this.
You're bringing it over here, and then you
want the water to trickle down
the length of of the face. How would
you do that? One of the integrals we
didn't get to is called the,
which is to rub.
So Imam Malik understood washing.
You know, he didn't say that, you know,
you put your hand in in in a
bucket of water and pull it out again
that you wash your hand. Washing means
rubbing.
Right? Like you'd wash a garment.
In fact, right, or a dent.
So
with the face,
you bring the water here to the top,
and then you're going to lightly rub like
this.
And then for a man, he has to
make sure
he gets the length of the beard.
The integral number is 1.
Right? If you don't get it on the
first time, then the second time you have
to. And if you go around the second,
then the third, but don't go above 3.
If you get it on the first time,
then the second and third times are so.
So that's the face.
I'm gonna leave this off because we're gonna
do the hair in
a
little
bit.
Then the washing,
the second or the third integral of lulu
out of 7,
is the washing of the arms.
Another common mistake people do
is they think their arm starts from their
wrists
because they washed
their hands in the beginning,
but
and yet
So one of the meanings of yed and
the one that's intended in the Quran according
to the Madikiyyah
is that the the the yed or the
arm is from the tip of your longest
finger, which is your middle finger,
all the way up to including
the elbow.
So remember how we said,
you have to get a little piece of
the hairline here in order to wash the
whole face. So it is up to and
including the elbow. That means one should go
a little bit beyond
the elbow
so that they got the whole arm.
And,
also, there has to be So remember we
said which is putting your fingers through your
beard if you have a beard. This also
has to be done with the arm to
get what
in between the fingers.
1, 2, 3, 4. So you got those
4 gaps
between the fingers. Those also have to be
washed.
So typically, if you're washing your right hand
first, you come for water. You start with
your fingertips, that's the sunnah, and then you're
gonna do tahliel.
Right? So I get in between, and then
you're gonna watch the top and the bottom.
We're gonna go from top side and the
underside of your arm.
You wanna go a little bit beyond
the elbow.
Both arms. So the sun has to do
the right before the left.
What if I'm wearing a ring?
You'll have to remove the ring? The man
in case say no. If it is a
permissible ring to wear, so for women, it
would be gold or whatever the name is.
For a man, it would be a loam
or a soul
silver ring not weighing more than 2 and
a half grams as we said earlier,
then that would be the permissible ring that
one can wear. You need not remove it.
If you're wearing multiple rings and call it
another school of thought, then remove the multiple
rings because you're only allowed to have one
ring.
If you feel more comfortable moving the ring
entirely, that's okay too, but it's not necessary
to remove the ring according to the men
in school. If you have a watch, you
should remove the watch.
Women who are wearing, rings or bracelets need
not remove them.
If the bracelets are obviously loose, then the
water is gonna get underneath anyway, so that's
okay.
What about the $1,000,000 question everybody asked about?
Nail polish.
Nail polish. So
nail polish,
prevents
water
from
reaching the nail tips, the nail itself.
And water running over this nail is obligatory.
So if you have tar,
if you played a little prank on your
brother or your sister and you put crazy
glue, you know, on their seat or something,
and then, oh, it got all over my
fingers
and my nails, and that crazy glue prevents
water from reaching, then you gotta get some
nail polish remover or something
to get it off.
That's why tattoos are also problematic
because they cover the surface of the skin
and then prevent
the water from reaching the skin. If you
have tattoos for whatever reason, and I know
they're very expensive to remove, then this is
considered a hardship. So we make the move
normally.
However,
generally speaking, let's say anything that would be
on the surface of the skin
that's going to prevent it from reaching, then
that's problematic.
Females use henna, for example. That's not an
issue because it doesn't actually cover from it's
not a layer on top of the surface
of the skin.
So anything then that's a barrier
from the wedge as well as the face
as well.
Right? So anything that's that's a barrier on
the face or any of the body parts
that needs to be washed
has to be removed.
So that's the,
arms,
including hands.
And wiping the entire head.
So in the Medici school, it's obligatory to
wipe the entire head.
Other schools,
Scharfay School, part of the hair,
the Hanafisei in Nelsia, which is like 4
fingers worth, but the Manichey School says the
entire head. So basically, the way we would
do it, we would start at the same
point that we started washing the face.
But now we're gonna start from this way.
And now it's wiping, not washing.
So whenever we wipe, there's no rubbing back
and forth. So it's based on getting your
hands wet, so you don't have to cup
your hands with water and bring it here.
That's that's washing. So your hands are wet.
You start off like this,
and then you're taking
all the way back
like this. That's wiping the entire
head. Well, what if you have long hair?
Then the length of the hair as well.
So if one has long hair, let's say
I want to do my shoulders, then I
do,
you know, the length of that hair from
the surface, one back like this. That is
the obligatory part.
The sunnah part, as we'll see, is to
come back this way. But the obligatory part
is to go all of it. What if
you're bald?
Just do the place where it is. So,
obviously, you don't have hair extending, so you
just do normally where the hair would be.
So kind of, like, to the base of
the neck
and starting up normally where your hairline would
begin and then going down to,
the base of the neck. What if your
hair is in braids? If your hair is
in tight braids,
you need not remove them,
unless
you have them braided with
cloth or or or or, you know, something
that's on top of the surface of the
hair. If it's so much that it's covering
most of the hair,
like over half of it, then you should
remove that. However, if it's braided within itself,
you know, sort of like African style of
braids or
braided
without using,
some sort of material, then you could leave
the braids in.
And then you just you're wiping the hair
and you're coming back.
And they actually mentioned for men or women,
whether the man's hair is braided or the
or the female,
the one's hair is braided, then they need
not,
undo the braids.
So that's 1, 2, 3, 4, the 5th
integral of udu,
raslu rijlaini ilal kahabeni, wyindabutachibosamya
ima,
then washing right and left foot.
So for the right and left foot,
same thing as the arm, but you would
start with
the toes over here and then go all
the way and make sure you get up
and beyond the the ankle. So the ankle
is to the is like the elbow.
This is where you have to reach at
least,
and then you have to go, up it
a little bit and make sure you get
the sole of the foot as well as
the top of the foot.
Do I have to do tekhli between the
toes like I did between the fingers?
Not obligatory,
but recommended.
So if you can do it, good. If
you cannot,
then that's okay.
What if I can't put my foot up
in the sink?
It's not a condition for you to put
your foot up in the sink. Whichever way
that you can wash your feet even if
they're down on the floor, right, even if
it's like a foot basin or it's lower,
then that's okay. If you have to step
into the
the shower or the tub
because you can't raise your foot to the
sink,
that's okay too.
If you cannot
reach
at all to your feet,
then,
if you have someone who can do it
for you, that's fine. If you don't have
anyone to do it for you, then you
don't have to do it. If you can't
reach,
You can't reach your feet.
So it's always.
It's always qualified by having the ability to
do so.
And when we get to,
which is dryer pollution, then we're gonna go
over some of the reasons,
that you you don't have to use Google.
And it's not just for lack of water.
There can be other reasons too dealing with
sickness where you can make Beomone instead of
instead of using water.
Wet delk, which is the 6th integral, or
imoramal yedi al el udu.
And the delk, as we said, is the
washing,
which is to, as I said, rub.
When do we have to do that? In
all of the washed parts,
washed body limbs. So what are the washed
body limbs? Well, the face,
so there's there.
The
arms,
so there's dead on the 2 arms,
and the feet.
So each foot also has to be washed.
Something that is rinsed,
like the hair,
the head, in other words, there's no washing.
So it's just going back and then like
this.
And then finally, the 7th,
root.
The last one is called continuity
or muwala,
that each integral should follow the other without
a big gap
between them.
So, like, that's not really,
we can't really imagine that unless you're interrupted
in your. So let's say
you're making a. You had just, you know,
wash the face, and then the phone rings.
You're waiting for a phone call, and you
go grab a phone.
Or you have a child and you have
to attend to them, or someone rings the
doorbell,
whatever the issue might be.
So
if you
leave,
the Google for
a period,
that's long. What's a long period?
And it's how long it would take for
your your limb to dry under normal conditions
and and, and and under a healthy condition.
So someone who has extremely dry skin, their
skin will will will get dry faster than
someone who doesn't.
If you are in
a very dry climate,
then your skin will get drier much quicker
than someone who's not in such a dry
climate. So we're talking about sort of,
you know, balanced conditions that the the nip
the nip would normally dry. I I don't
think that would be any more than
5, 10 minutes,
my estimation. You know, beyond 10 minutes, then
we're talking, you know. We did something else.
It's too late too.
So he says here,
Here, the hashiya says he's a little bit
less,
less forgiving. He said between 2 3 minutes
is when the line would drive.
I would say maybe up to 5 to
6. I don't
know. 2 and 3.
But it should not be,
a long time. So if you did it
purposefully
and then your limb dried,
then you have to start over again.
So start from the beginning. However,
if you did it and your limb
normally would not have dried
right? So if you're in a very dry
climate and after 30 seconds, it dries,
but then you start, you know, you do,
you do, you do, and you start, you
know, you wanna come back to where you
left off. You can't
because you're on a very dry condition.
So we're gonna go by what are,
I don't wanna say normal conditions, but, like,
you know,
typical conditions.
So So if you come within 2 or
3 minutes or 3 minutes so forth, then
you come back, you can pick up where
you left off. So I just washed my
face. I was like, okay. The next thing
is my right arm.
Then you go to your right arm and
continue.
This is if you left it purposefully and
want to answer the phone or whatever it
might be.
However,
if you do it,
forgetfully
or because you're unable to.
So forgetfully,
you
were doing the, and then,
you know, you just kind of forgot what
you were doing.
And then you want to do something else
in the bathroom where you stepped out for
a second, and then you go, oh, wait
a minute. I was making.
So if you
on the point of that realization, you come
back immediately, you can you can continue from
where you left off. However, if you don't
come back immediately at that point, and then
now you know that you left your wudu
and then the 2, 3 minutes expires, then
you have to start from the beginning.
Or you're unable to complete it.
What do you mean unable to complete it?
Well, many people in western countries are not
used to this, or let's say the well
developed countries are not used to this, but
sometimes the water turns off.
And you don't have water. You can have
the the faucet can actually be on, and
then you did your right arm and you're
waiting for the left and
water shut off.
You
know, they have water curfews in some countries
and,
and sometimes they you know? Or maybe there's
a water main break,
whatever it might be, so the water shut
off. So So this is called. You're unable
to complete it.
Then as soon as the water comes back,
then you can complete it from the point
where you left off.
You have the option to do that.
Well,
right?
Means then you immediately as soon as the
order comes back, you're able to do it,
then you can,
you can complete the whole thing.
So those are the
integrals or the obligatory acts of Google.
Now he's gonna move on to the
or the recommended acts of,
which are highly recommended.
So
he says, So washing your.
So wash the first thing to do is
washing the hands
up to the wrist.
What is the? It's the the vessel that
you have set up
in case, you know, you don't have a
a running faucet
or the water dish shut off, and then
you start filling up buckets to use later
on.
So now you have an e net.
Now you have a vessel.
Let's say you got some filth on your
hands
for whatever reason.
Changing your baby's diaper, you yourself, restroom, whatever
it might be.
If you were to put your hand inside,
then you've contaminated the whole thing. Right? Because
remember how we said in the very first
chapter, we talked about
that if a war water is affected by
nejasa
and one of its three properties changes, either
its color or taste or its smell, then
that's not usable.
You can't use it for or
or or or or our typical uses
in.
So in this case,
you need to wash them before putting them
inside the vessel.
How do you do that?
Well, you have to find a way to
take some water out of the receptacle of
the vessel and wash your hands with it
and not put your hands inside.
So maybe you get, like,
a cup, something to scoop with, but not
your hands.
It might be somebody else's hands.
Right? If their hands are clean and yours
are not, then maybe they're the ones who
scooper you, and then you wash your hands
first.
So but typically, you'd wash both hands at
the same time, either somewhere faucet or you're
doing it outside of the vessel like this.
And that's sunnah.
Matmaba means to,
rinse the mouth
that we would take also with the right
hand
and take up, scoop up, swirl it around,
and then, expect for it.
And we do that three times.
These are 2 words that,
are talking about
breathing
or taking some water, a slight amount of
water, up the nostrils and then
lightly or gently,
releasing it.
And again, this should be done
gently.
You know, gently.
You go to some of the massage. You
know, unfortunately, I don't know if this happens
in the women's section, but in the men's
section,
you know,
it sounds like, you know, the elephants are
gathering up the lake to
you know?
So it has to be done
gently,
and especially
when one is fasting.
Why when one is fasting especially?
Because
their the airway here
can lead to the throat
does lead to the throat.
And if water goes down your throat
through your nose, then you burp when you're
fast, especially if you if you done it
on purpose. So maybe you didn't mean to,
but you did it so hard,
and then it went down,
went down the throat, so that's breaking the
fast. So they say to be especially careful
careful during Ramadan
or when when one is fasting.
But otherwise, it should be done gently.
I don't think people should hear you 2
blocks over.
That will kind of be the the general
litmus test if you're doing it gently or
you're doing it in the right way.
And that also, that is 3 times.
And then you kind of pinch the nose
a little bit, so you take it up.
And then
gently,
you know, from the bridge of the nose
all the way down to the nostril,
let it come up.
So on the first one, we talked about
wiping the whole head, like, one time like
this. This is what we call a rad,
coming back.
So coming back the same way like that,
is the sunnah aspect. If you didn't get
it right or you didn't get a hold
of it the first time like this, then
you have to come back the second time.
Otherwise, you coming back the second time is
a sunnah, and it's not a
it's not
a fault.
So
wiping the ears,
the hip
which is this part, one button
behind.
And basically, it's wiping. So you're wetting your
hands,
and you're wiping like this.
And also renewing using different water than you
used for your head, even though you can
use the same water for your head. So
if I were let's say I'm wiping my
head, and then I go like this
and then come back.
That's okay.
But the superior thing to do, the more
notorious thing to do is to wipe the
whole head, and then you go and renew
the water
under the faucet or or the bucket, and
then
wipe your ears once like that.
With Teff t
and also doing it in the order that
we described.
So the for for a'i to be done
in the order. So, however, niya always has
to be in the beginning. The intention always
has to be in the beginning. If you
have the intention after one of the first
integrals,
you have to do it all. So we're
talking about the the the limbs.
So the face,
then the arms,
then the wiping of the head, then the
feet in that order. And then the suna
within that order. So we begin with washing
of the wrist.
Right, and then in and
then then then
then then washing the face,
then the right arm, then the left arm,
then,
wiping the head,
then the ears, and then washing
right in the foot. That would be the
order.
So with testib, that's sunnah.
In other words,
you put something before it should have you
split switch the order. So instead of,
washing your arms first, you wiped your head,
and then you wash your arms.
What do you do if you realize it?
If the time period is long,
then I go back and only redo the
limb
that I put out of order.
That's all I have to do. I don't
have to do the rest of it.
Only the one that came out of work.
So I whack my head and then I
wash my arms. Well, I should have washed
my arms first, then wash your arms, then
you're done.
That's if the law if it's a long
period of time in those 2 or 3
minutes that elapsed.
However, if it's not a long period of
time,
then you would repeat that thing, which is
washing the arms and everything that came after
it, if you're still there, if you're still
in the middle.
Right? All of this is sunda
because we set the tafthib,
the order is sunda.
So let's say you go and
and you pray,
and you had wiped your head before you
washed your eyes.
Then in this case,
your prayer is valid.
We need not,
redress that in your living. You wanna redress
it for the next prayer, that's something else.
But the prayer that you just did is
valid because as we said, the order is
only.
The Shafa'i said Shafa'i, the order is obligatory.
So on their matter, it would be a
different story. But in the school,
the order is merely,
merely Sundar. So once again,
if I if I put something out of
order and I walk away and the time
period is long, I can come back and
just
redo the thing I put out of order.
If the time period is short enough that
the limb hasn't dried, then I redo that
thing and everything that came after
it. Oh,
that's good.
This is also true for someone who forgot
a name.
You forgot,
let's say, an obligatory name.
Google is not valid. But now is it
a long time period or is it a
short time period?
If it is
a long time period, then you go back
and just do the thing you forgot.
You don't have to do the rest of
the whole loop.
So I did everything, but somehow I missed
my left arm.
Then I go away.
I answer the phone, like, I'm like, wait
a minute. I didn't do my left arm.
Pretty sure I didn't do my left arm.
Then in this case, you go back and
just do your left arm and you lose
complete.
You don't have to do anything else.
However,
if I'm still in it, right, I get
to my
right foot, and I say, wait a minute.
Did I do my left arm? I did
not. Then I go back to my left
arm and do everything that came after it
again. So I did my left arm, then
I'm gonna wipe my head, then I'll do
my ears, and I'll do the
so the criteria then is is it a
long period, has elapsed, or a short period.
However, if I forgot a limb,
as soon as I remember,
I have to go back and do it.
I should not let a long time pass.
You know, as soon as I can get
to water and I and I can redo
it, I should redo it. Otherwise, redo the
whole thing.
If I let a long time elapsed and
have the opportunity to to address it, and
I did not.
If I forgot a limb and I prayed,
Your prayer is invalid
because you left out something obligatory in the
prayer, like washing one of the arms or
one of the feet. So I'd have to
redo the prayer.
So I'd have to go back, make the
hu, and redo the prayer.
Those are the sunnah.
Now we get to the or the virtues,
which are things generally that are not right
inside of but they're kind of periphery to
it.
The
virtues
which is to say at
the beginning.
And the soundness for the ways are just
to say
not even
just
and covering one's,
nakedness.
This is if you're by yourself.
If you're not by yourself, you have to
cover your hour.
Right? So if you're in the bathroom and,
you know, you just kinda have, like, you
know, your
bare essentials on,
then,
it's still better to have your hour covered
while making Wudu because we said Wudu is
an act of worship. Right?
So it's always better to do that. If
there's other people around who can't see you
like that,
then it's and it's obligatory to cover the
hour.
So that's the second thing.
To
have the place where you're actually making the
to be pure, free of impurities.
You might say, well, that's a given. I
mean, you know,
try to tidy the bathroom as best as
we can. We have nice tile going in
marble, and how would that get dirty?
Well, that's not the case for everybody.
In many places,
the actual place where the restrooms are in
Google is the same place.
And, you know, it might be, like, just
they have a shower head or they have
a faucet in the same place where people
are relieving themselves.
So it's better to have the halit in
Mahal.
That the mahal, which is the place that
you're making the wudu
where you're standing, should also be
should also be pure. It's not obligatory because
maybe you're unable to do that. But what
would happen is if you find yourself in
such a place and you're standing in it
and you don't have a choice,
then remember that you have to walk you're
washing your feet the last thing. And then
when you step off with your right foot
and your left foot, make sure you don't
step back into it
so that you don't you know, if there's
some,
and it comes back on you, then you've
kind of defeated the purpose. So,
you still have,
by the way, even if you get an
on your foot. Because we said,
is,
it's to take you out of the state
of hadith.
Hadith means ritual impurity because you you actually
use the restroom of how to be function.
The najasa on the floor is haveeth.
Haveeth is
ritual filth,
right, that doesn't take the the the ruling
of you have to do wudu. If you
touch it, all you have to do is
remove it.
That's why he says here,
it's amongst the virtuous things and it's not
obligatory thing because even if you get najesah
on you, after you make wudu, all you
have to do is wash it off.
Facing. You just said facing. Facing what?
If you can. Right? If you're outside
and you have the ability to face the
Qubla, then it's always better to face the
Qubla again. This is giving credibility, the idea
it's an act of worship.
Is to
wash,
3 times if the first one suffices.
If the first one suffices.
If it doesn't suffice, then you have to
do 2 and 3.
If it in other words, I I wash
my arm,
but I'm like, wait a minute. I didn't
get up to the elbow.
So then the second time I'm doing it,
it was actually an obligatory one because I
didn't get the whole elbow.
So it's only gonna be virtuous if
the first one
was done right.
If the first one wasn't done right, then
the second one may be obligatory as well.
That's what it
means.
And porosity of water with,
isberg. Yeah. You're doing it right.
We'll get that. What do I have upstairs?
So I actually have something,
to show you.
So a posterity of water
So this means using
the least amount of water that you can
use
in as much as at the same time
you're doing a complete.
Why?
Even if you have a lot of water.
So the idea is not that, you know,
there's a drought
or that you don't have access to water.
But the prophet said to them, and I'll
demonstrate to you in a second how much
water we actually used.
Only used a little bit, but he did
the most complete.
You know, one of the one of the
the issues with with,
with modern plumbing is we have these faucets.
So we turn the faucet on,
and then we're kind of washing,
and then the faucet's still running. So we're
probably using twice as much water
as we actually need to use.
So
the prophet, salaam alayhi, said that he was
able to do the wudu
in
which
is
his hands
outstretched like this. So this is from Atahdahr
al Medina, which is a,
a museum in in Medina.
And there's a senate,
kind of a chain of transmission that this
was, as you can see how big it
is,
this was the amount of water that the
prophet needed,
only this much to make the deal in.
So we feel something like this,
which is the mud in Nevisar,
which is his hands outstretched like this,
and he was able to make the move
from this. And I think this is roughly
about 2 or 3
cups. If
I let's say about that much, 3 cups
or so. But as you can see,
it's, it's not that much at all.
And then for his,
he would use like 3 or 4 of
these maximum
to make his.
Of course, everybody's different and they're different body
sizes and, and so forth. But
I would say,
as a minimum,
when you have the faucet on, you don't
really need more than, you know, almost
a very light
stream. You know? Or it could even be
drops, to be honest with you, and you'll
find that you'll have plenty of water to
make it with. People have it on full
blast,
and, you know, the the area where they
may look looks like a swimming pool afterwards
is,
you know, then maybe it's too much. So
you just need enough in order to do.
Right? And espeh means to do it the
most complete way, but also
realizing that the natural resources that we have
at our disposal, like water and other things,
are meant to be preserved.
And part of the principle, whether we have
much of it or we have little of
it, is to preserve it and use only
as much as we need it.
So it should be as a needed,
as
as needed basis only.
So that's the other Fadira. Then so next
one,
Right? What's?
To do the right side before the left
and all of the things that we did.
Right? So we have the arms and the
feet. So the right arm before the left
arm, the right foot before the left
Well, Bedwubibokadmiras.
Wa'aalil Aba wassiwaq.
And also beginning when we're washing the face,
as we said, with the top of the
head like this and also wiping the hair,
technically, you could start back here and you
could start over here when you're washing, but
start from this point in both places.
Well, I did alba.
Right? And also to begin with,
you know, in terms of
I alba here means starting with the fingertips
or starting with the toes when you are,
washing those limbs. And to say after you're
finished,
So these are different ahadith, but these are
things that were narrated that the prophet said
after he completed his wudu. Say it one
more time.
So those are the,
and then we move on to those things
that are,
Makru, or those those things that are disliked
should be finished this section.
So as we said earlier, it's this slight
but reprehensible. In other words, if you'd if
you're lucky not to do this with intention,
then,
you have a reward. So to speak during
it
to anyone except about this salaam, except to
say, * alaikum, to someone who says salaam
alaikum. Why not salaam?
So to to greet someone else's Salam is
obligatory.
Right? And also dikr.
To make zikr during wudu. There are some
hadith that are mentioned in, like, Biday Fil
Hidaya, Memlazari,
and so forth about
zikr,
in different aspects or doing different limbs.
None of those hadith, to my knowledge, are
sound.
So most of our teachers are told us
the only vicar we know is at the
beginning and at the end,
in terms of vicar al lisan.
There there may be some difference of opinion.
Obviously, remember, Ghazal had his opinions, but
certainly,
from the that I'm aware of, there's no
particular dhikr that we do for each name.
Our dhikr There's
still the dhikr of the heart, which is
always a lie.
So he says the the the
the dhikr is talking about here
If you hear the adhan in the background
while you're doing,
can you say after the like we're supposed
to? Yes. That's the type of tikka that
he says it's okay.
Or a dua. Right? And I said and
I said a dua,
the thing that we know is that it
comes after the the completion of
of
the building.
So, again, he mentions these. Even the the
here says there's nothing of it that's found
in the Hadith.
But I would say if people want to
say that, then it it's better to say
it after.
Which are the conditions of validity.
For the wudu, we already mentioned these.
Alimulha'ib,
in other words, there should be nothing
on the surface of the skin that will
prevent water from reaching the skin if it's
a washed limb.
1 munafi.
So Munafi
means that during the course of Huddl, you
actually do something to nullify your Huddl.
Right?
So,
you know,
if you're in the shower and you're making
voodoo and then, you know, feel like you
gotta relieve yourself, then you do that, then
you lost your Google. You can't just pick
up where you left off. You have to
do it from the beginning. So Adelun Munafi
is that throughout the whole course of Google,
you're not doing anything to nullify.
And then finally,
when we mentioned this earlier also, why am
now, how does what does
a state of ritual impurity prevent? What can
you not do?
As salah, praying any type of prayer.
The ritual prayer that is, whether it's a
prayer, whether it's an nawaf or a wawaf,
sunnatilay
salatilayit,
any of those things, we need to be
in a state of
bull. What?
So circumambiling the cow as part of Umrah
or Hajj,
even if it's, a the law that's not
part of the, like the like
the last you do before you leave to
go back home, a farewell go off. It's
still a law, so you have to have
a rule during
that.
And touching the pages of the mushaf
except for the teacher or the student.
So the teacher and the student,
have the,
have the dispensation, the ruxa,
to be able to touch the pages, without
being a state of the building. So if,
like, you're a Quran teacher, I'm part of
the students, and you might do it all
day,
it might be a hardship to to maintain
that student body.
So the last thing I'll say is
one of the
one of the blessings of ulul is to
try to remain in the state of perpetual
ulul, which means whenever you lose your ulul,
that you will lose your ulul once again.
And this was a practice of some of
the sahaba like Sayyid Abu Dihl.
In fact, we would also do rakatay.
After we make, we will be also praying
to that
he approved of that.
So,
as Zabrook mentions in Al Sayed Hatefi, and
I think maybe,
he added,
on the scheme. He talks that being in
the state of Google,
is very beneficial
in that it puts you
very close to Hibeda. So if you feel
like know, touching the pages of the most
often, you're not a student, or you feel
like offering some extra prayers,
you're ready to do it.
Right? Because the nef's, the ego, well, I'm
still gonna go to the bathroom and the
water is cold and I gotta heat it
up,
and you're gonna get wet.
So you all these things kind of say,
okay, just, you know, do it later. But
if you renew your hulu every time that
you lose it and you're in that state
immediately,
then you're that much closer to perform the
hulu.
And he also said that this,
brings about the,
greater love of the angels for you.
So we all have angels that accompany us
all the time,
which we are called the hafavah or the
guardian angels, and there's at least 10 of
them.
And so they like to be around people
who are in a state of they like
fa'ala.
Right? The the angels are pure creatures
You know, pure light. And so they like
purity, and they like to be around people
in a state of the heart. So,
you know, that that's that's an added benefit
as well. So it's a good practice to
have and to try to institute if one
one is able to do
