Removing impurity from garments.

fatwa-tt December 1, 2015

Question:

  1. If a drop of urine falls on innerwear/underwear due to cough or some pressure, do I need to change it before salah? or is it enough to wipe with wet tissue/cloth 3 times?  
  2. Its given that light physical impurity less than 3cm can be excused. If it is the case, how do we purify ourselves before salah? Can you explain the same situation for purifying for more than 3cm? I think we need to  wash innerwear 3 times. Can you please explain this clearly since dripping of urine any time of the day is a common problem. 

 

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

As a principle, if any liquid major impurity (najasah ghaliza) is more than a Dirham (approximately 2.75 cm) in diameter then it is wajib (necessary) to remove the impurity. If any impurity is less than this amount then it should also be removed, however Salaah will be valid. To perform Salaah with that amount of impurity without a valid excuse will be Makrooh.[1].

Based on this principle, if the urine drops is more than a Dirham (approximately 2.75 cm) in diameter, then you will have to remove the impurity by washing the garment three times before performing Salaah[2], and if it is less than this amount then it will still be preferable to wash your garment before prayer.

We advise that you try placing something, for example, toilet paper in your under garment which you could change before every Salah. This will be more practical.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

[1] الدر المختار وحاشية ابن عابدين (رد المحتار) (1/ 318)

(وَعَرْضِ مُقَعَّرِ الْكَفِّ) وَهُوَ دَاخِلُ مَفَاصِلِ أَصَابِعِ الْيَدِ (فِي رَقِيقٍ مِنْ مُغَلَّظَةٍ كَعَذِرَةِ) آدَمِيٍّ، وَكَذَا كُلُّ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهُ مُوجِبًا لِوُضُوءٍ أَوْ غَسْلِ مُغَلَّظٍ

 

الدر المختار وحاشية ابن عابدين (رد المحتار) (1/ 318)

(قَوْلُهُ: وَهُوَ دَاخِلُ مَفَاصِلِ أَصَابِعِ الْيَدِ) قَالَ مُنْلَا مِسْكِينٍ: وَطَرِيقُ مَعْرِفَتِهِ أَنْ تَغْرِفَ الْمَاءَ بِالْيَدِ ثُمَّ تَبْسُطَ، فَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ الْمَاءِ فَهُوَ مِقْدَارُ الْكَفِّ

 

بدائع الصنائع في ترتيب الشرائع (1/ 80)

وَاخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْحَدِّ الْفَاصِلِ بَيْنَ الْقَلِيلِ وَالْكَثِيرِ مِنْ النَّجَاسَةِ قَالَ إبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخَعِيّ: إذَا بَلَغَ مِقْدَارَ الدِّرْهَمِ فَهُوَ كَثِيرٌ وَقَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ: لَا يَمْنَعُ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ قَدْرِ الدِّرْهَمِ الْكَبِيرِ.

وَهُوَ قَوْلُ عَامَّةِ الْعُلَمَاءِ، وَهُوَ الصَّحِيحُ؛ لِمَا رَوَيْنَا عَنْ عُمَرَ – رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ – أَنَّهُ عَدَّ مِقْدَارَ ظُفُرٍ مِنْ النَّجَاسَةِ قَلِيلًا، حَيْثُ لَمْ يَجْعَلْهُ مَانِعًا مِنْ جَوَازِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَظُفْرُهُ كَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ كَفِّنَا فَعُلِمَ أَنَّ قَدْرَ الدِّرْهَمِ عَفْوٌ؛ وَلِأَنَّ أَثَرَ النَّجَاسَةِ فِي مَوْضِعِ الِاسْتِنْجَاءِ عَفْوٌ، وَذَلِكَ يَبْلُغُ قَدْرَ الدِّرْهَمِ خُصُوصًا فِي حَقِّ الْمَبْطُونِ، وَلِأَنَّ فِي دِينِنَا سَعَةً، وَمَا قُلْنَاهُ أَوْسَعُ فَكَانَ أَلْيَقَ بِالْحَنِيفِيَّةِ السَّمْحَةِ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِي ظَاهِرِ الرِّوَايَةِ صَرِيحًا أَنَّ الْمُرَادَ مِنْ الدِّرْهَمِ الْكَبِيرِ، مِنْ حَيْثُ الْعَرْضِ وَالْمِسَاحَةِ، أَوْ مِنْ حَيْثُ الْوَزْنِ وَذَكَرَ فِي النَّوَادِرِ: الدِّرْهَمُ الْكَبِيرُ: مَا يَكُونُ عَرْضَ الْكَفِّ وَهَذَا مُوَافِقٌ لِمَا رَوَيْنَا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عُمَرَ – رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ – لِأَنَّ ظُفْرَهُ كَانَ كَعَرْضِ كَفِّ أَحَدِنَا، وَذَكَرَ الْكَرْخِيُّ مِقْدَارَ مِسَاحَةِ الدِّرْهَمِ الْكَبِيرِ، وَذَكَرَ فِي كِتَابِ الصَّلَاةِ الدِّرْهَمَ الْكَبِيرَ الْمِثْقَالَ فَهَذَا يُشِيرُ إلَى الْوَزْنِ.

وَيُرْشِدُ إلَيْهِ أَنَّ بَعْضَ الْأَبْوَالِ قَدْ يُرَى لَهُ لَوْنٌ بَعْدَ الْجَفَافِ أَفَادَهُ فِي الْحِلْيَةِ، وَيُوَافِقُهُ التَّوْفِيقُ الْمَارُّ، لَكِنْ فِيهِ نَظَرٌ؛ لِأَنَّهُ يَلْزَمُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ الدَّمَ الرَّقِيقَ وَالْبَوْلَ الَّذِي يُرَى لَوْنُهُ مِنْ النَّجَاسَةِ الْغَيْرِ الْمَرْئِيَّةِ وَأَنَّهُ يُكْتَفَى فِيهَا بِالْغَسْلِ ثَلَاثًا بِلَا اشْتِرَاطِ زَوَالِ الْأَثَرِ مَعَ أَنَّ الْمَفْهُومَ مِنْ كَلَامِهِمْ أَنَّ غَيْرَ الْمَرْئِيَّةِ مَا لَا يُرَى لَهُ أَثَرٌ أَصْلًا لِاكْتِفَائِهِمْ فِيهَا بِمُجَرَّدِ الْغَسْلِ، بِخِلَافِ الْمَرْئِيَّةِ الْمَشْرُوطِ فِيهَا زَوَالُ الْأَثَرِ، فَالْمُنَاسِبُ مَا فِي غَايَةِ الْبَيَانِ وَأَنَّ مُرَادَهُ بِالْبَوْلِ مَا لَا لَوْنَ لَهُ وَإِلَّا كَانَ مِنْ الْمَرْئِيَّةِ.
