Question:<\/strong>
Assalam o alaikum, recently I was on gasht, we approached a non-muslim, who asked me why muslim pass wind they have to make wudu?\u00a0 Why they do not change the clothes bcs passing of gas, the smell still in may be on your clothes.\u00a0 Can you please explain, Jazak Allah khair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Muslims, we take the teachings of our Deen (religion) from the Quran and Hadith as expounded by our rightly guided scholars. Wudhu was taught to this Ummah by Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong> and his knowledge is from Allah \ufdfb<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allah \ufdfb<\/strong> says in the Quran:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0648\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0637\u0650\u0642\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0646\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0647\u064e\u0648\u064e\u0649 (3) \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0647\u064f\u0648\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u062d\u0652\u064a\u064c \u064a\u064f\u0648\u062d\u064e\u0649 (4)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translation: He does not speak out of his desires, it is but revelation given to him. (Surah An Najm: 3-4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allah \ufdfb<\/strong> also says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0648\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0622\u062a\u064e\u0627\u0643\u064f\u0645\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0631\u064e\u0651\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0644\u064f \u0641\u064e\u062e\u064f\u0630\u064f\u0648\u0647\u064f \u0648\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u0646\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0639\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0647\u064f \u0641\u064e\u0627\u0646\u0652\u062a\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u062a\u064e\u0651\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0651 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0647\u064e \u0634\u064e\u062f\u0650\u064a\u062f\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u0650\u0642\u064e\u0627\u0628\u0650<\/strong>(7)<\/strong>…<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translation: Whatever the messenger gives you, take it and whatever he prohibits you from, say way from it. (Surah Al Hashr: 7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No mention is made in the Quran or Hadith of removing the clothing after passing wind. Therefore, our duty as Muslims is to follow and comply with the orders of Allah \ufdfb<\/strong> and His messenger \ufdfa<\/strong> without necessarily knowing the true reason behind their obligation.  Sometimes, the simplest answer the Sahabah Radiyallahu anhum<\/em> would give when they were uncertain about a matter was to say Allah \ufdfa<\/strong> and His messenger \ufdfb<\/strong> knows best.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abbaad ibn Tamim narrated that my uncle complained to Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong>, about a man who suspects that he passed wind during prayer. Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong> said, \u201cHe should not leave his prayer unless he hears a sound or finds a smell.\u201d [i]<\/a> In another Hadith it is narrated that Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong> said, \u201cWhen any of you breaks wind he should perform ablution…[ii]<\/a>\u201d As mentioned earlier, we do not have any record of Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong> instructing his Sahabah Radiyallahu anhum<\/em> to remove their clothes after passing wind. This should be sufficient for us to practice upon without having any reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great Sahabi Ali Radiyallahu anhu<\/em> said: \u201cIf Deen was based only on logic, then the lower part of the leather socks would have been more suitable to wipe instead of the upper part. However, I saw Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong> wiping the upper part of his leather socks[iii]<\/sup><\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement of Ali Radiyallahu anhu<\/em> relates to your question. He, as a companion, cousin and son in law of Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong> is showing us that sometimes our basic logic should be abandoned to follow the orders of Allah \ufdfb<\/strong> and the Sunnah of His messenger \ufdfa<\/strong>. A person\u2019s logic says that the lower part of a sock or shoe will be dirtier than the upper part. However, Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong> only wiped the upper portion of his leather sock to achieve ritual purity and we should therefore follow him and abandon our logic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, we should understand that our Imaan should drive us to obey the commands of Allah \ufdfb<\/strong> and follow the Sunnah of Rasulullah \ufdfa<\/strong> even without knowing the logical explanation behind it. Also, when we meet non-Muslims our focus should be inviting them to the oneness of Allah \ufdfb<\/strong> and the beautiful life of Rasululah \ufdfa<\/strong> and leave off unnecessary things which one is unaware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Allah Ta\u2019\u0101la Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
