Several
Intentions in one Ghusl
If several conditions co-exist for
Ghusl, for instance, if one had a nocturnal emission and it is Eīd day as well
as Friday, performing one
Ghusl with intentions for all three
conditions is sufficient and he will be rewarded for all.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 325, vol. 1)
Performing
Ghusl in Rain
Performing Ghusl whilst exposing one's
Sitr in front of others is Ḥarām. (Fatāwā Raḍawiyyah
(Jad īd), pp. 306, vol. 3)
When bathing in rain etc. one should
wrap a thick shawl over trousers so that the colour of thighs is not exposed to
others when wet trousers stick with the body.
How
is it to Look at a Person Wearing Skin-Fit Cloth?
It is not allowed to look at
specific organ of Sitr of someone wearing tight clothes, or clothes that are
loose but stick around the organ by wind or stick due to bathing in rain, sea
side etc. in such a way that the shape of complete organ e.g. complete
roundness of thigh is apparent. The same ruling applies for seeing towards
projected full organ of Sitr of a person wearing tight clothes.
Be
Careful while Bathing Naked
In case of performing Ghusl naked
alone or wearing trousers that may reveal colour of thighs due to sticking when
wet, ensure that neither face nor back is towards the Holy Ka'baĥ.
If
Ghusl Causes Cold, Then …?
If one is suffering from cold or eye
infection etc. and according to his correct guess, his disease will intensify
on taking bath from head or other diseases will attack him, he is allowed to
take bath from neck, but he has to rinse mouth and sniff water into nose. After
wiping every part of the head with wet hand, his Ghusl will be complete. After
healing from ailment, he has to wash the head; complete renewal of Ghusl is not
necessary.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 318, vol. 1)
Caution
While Using a Bucket for Ghusl
While using a bucket for Ghusl,
place the bucket on some stool etc. so that water droplets do not fall into it.
Also do not place mug used for Ghusl on the floor.
Knot
in Hair
If there is a knot in hair, it is
not necessary to untie and wash it in Ghusl.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 318, vol. 1)
Ten
Rulings of Reciting or Touching the Holy Qurān in the State of Impurity
1. If Ghusl is due on somebody, it is
Ḥarām for him to enter Masjid, perform Ṭawāf, touch the Holy Qurān, recite
Qurān without touching it, write a verse of the Qurān, write a Qurānic Ta'wīż
(this is Ḥarām only when touching the paper while writing is involved;
otherwise it is allowed).
(Fatāwā-e-Aĥl-e-Sunnat–unpublished)
Similarly, touching such a Qurānic
Ta'wīż, touching or wearing a ring that has Qurānic verses or
Ḥurūf-e-Muqaṭṭa'āt written on it is also Ḥarām.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 326, vol. 1)
(There is no harm in wearing or
touching a Ta'wīż that is wrapped in plastic and sewn in leather or cloth)
2. If the Qurān is in a casing, there
is no harm in touching the case without Wuḍū or Ghusl.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 326, vol. 1)
3. Similarly, there is no harm in
holding the Holy Qurān with such a cloth or handkerchief etc. which is neither
associated to your dress nor to the Holy Quran in any way.
(ibid)
4. It is Ḥarām to touch the Holy Qurān
with sleeve of shirt or with the part of headscarf or with one end of shawl
while other end is on shoulder because all of these things are directly
associated with the Junub.
(ibid)
5. There is no harm in reciting a verse
of the Holy Qurān with the intention of Du'ā or for spiritual benefit e.g.
reading 'اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْن',
reading 'بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْم'
as gratefulness or reading 'اِنَّالِلّٰہِ
وَاِنَّآاِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُوْن' upon hearing news of a Muslim's death (or
any other sad news), or intending to praise Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ
with the reading of Sura-e-Fātiḥaĥ, Āya-tul-Kursī or the last three verses of
Sura-e- Ḥashr provided that in all these cases, there is no intention of
reciting Qurān.
6. The three Quls of the Holy Qurān may
be recited by leaving out the word Qul with the intention of praising Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Reading with the word Qul even for the
praise of Allāĥ عَزَّوَجَلَّ is not permissible
(when Ghusl is due) as in this case, it is defined as Qurān; intention is not
applicable.
7. It is Ḥarām to touch the Holy Qurān
or any Qurānic verse without Wuḍū. However, there is no harm in reciting it by
heart or by looking at it (without touching).
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 326, vol. 1)
8. If someone does not have Wuḍū or if
Ghusl is due on him, it is Ḥarām for him to touch any utensils (such as plates,
cups etc.) that have Qurānic verses inscribed upon them.
(ibid, pp. 327)
9. Use of such utensils is disliked for
all; however, there is no harm in drinking water etc. in such utensils for the
sake of curing.
(ibid)
10. The same rules apply for touching or
reciting translation of the Holy Qurān in Urdu, Persian, or any other language.
(ibid)
صَلُّوْا عَلَى الْحَبِيْبِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ
تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Touching
Religious Books without Wuḍū
It is Makrūĥ-e-Tanzīĥī for the one
who does not have Wuḍū as well as the one on whom Ghusl is Farḍ to touch books
of Fiqĥ (Islamic Jurisprudence), Tafsīr (Commentary of Qurān) and Ḥadīš.
However, there is no harm in touching them using even such a piece of cloth
that one is wearing. However, touching any Qurānic verse or its translation
present in these books is Ḥarām.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 327, vol. 1)
One should take care when reading
Islamic books or newspapers without Wuḍū as usually they contain Qurānic verses
and their translations.
Recitation
of Durūd Sharīf in the State of Impurity
1. There is no harm in reciting Durūd
and Du'ā etc. when Ghusl is due; however, it is preferable to rinse one's mouth
or perform Wuḍū first.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 327, vol. 1)
2. Replying to Ażān is also
permissible.
(Fatāwa-e-'Ālamgīrī, pp. 38, vol. 1)
If
Finger has Coating of a Layer of Ink…?
Flour coating on a cook's nails, ink
coating on a writer's nails and stains left by flies and mosquitoes (for
everyone) will not affect Ghusl if left unwashed out of inattention. However,
on coming to know about it, it is necessary to remove the coating / stain and wash
the surface underneath; the Ṣalāĥ previously offered without removing the stain
out of inattention will be considered valid.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, pp. 319, vol. 1)
