Key Points from the Document
- Tayammum vs. Wudu:
- Tayammum allows praying multiple Salahs, Fard or Nafl, as long as it remains valid.
- Imam Shafi’i considers Tayammum as a state of “Udhr,” requiring a new Tayammum for each obligatory prayer, unlike Hanafi views that treat Tayammum as equivalent to Wudu.
- Medical Conditions & Tayammum:
- In cases like continuous bleeding or gastric issues, Wudu is maintained for one prayer. If Tayammum replaces Wudu due to water unavailability, it follows similar rules.
- Tayammum Validity:
- Breaks if Wudu-breaking acts occur or if conditions like water availability change.
- Tayammum must be done anew if the prerequisite situation is resolved (e.g., water becomes available).
- Injuries and Partial Ablution:
- If more than half of the body (or Wudu-specific areas) is injured, Tayammum replaces Wudu. Otherwise, partial Wudu with Masah (wiping) over the injured area suffices.
- Khufain (Leather Socks):
- Permissible to wipe over Khufain under specific conditions (e.g., worn after Wudu, no tears exceeding three small toes’ width).
- Time limits: 24 hours for residents, 72 hours for travelers.
- Masah Rules:
- Masah applies only to feet with Khufain. It doesn’t extend to other body parts like the head or face without explicit textual evidence.
- Misconceptions:
- Acts like anger or heated arguments don’t break Wudu but doing Wudu afterward is recommended.
- Wiping over veils, turbans, gloves, or caps doesn’t substitute washing mandated by Quranic rulings.
- Workshops and Additional Events:
- An in-person Ramadan workshop is scheduled for March 10, 2024, at Masjid An-Nur, covering fasting, Zakat, and related rulings.
Quranic References and Hadith
- The permissibility of wiping over Khufain is based on mass-transmitted Hadith, aligning with Quranic principles.
- The Quran mandates washing feet during Wudu unless exempted by Hadith.
- Zakat rulings derive exemptions for poor individuals directly from the Quran.
Questions and Answers Highlighted
- Question: If someone has medical conditions, can they hold and read the Quran after Salah using Tayammum?
Answer: Yes, the Wudu remains valid until the next prayer time. - Question: Does extreme anger or heated arguments break Wudu?
Answer: No, it doesn’t. However, it is recommended to renew Wudu. - Question: Can waterproof socks substitute leather socks (Khufain)?
Answer: Yes, if they meet the conditions of covering, preventing water entry, and having no significant tears. - Question: Can Tayammum be done before the prayer time begins?
Answer: Yes, it’s permissible, just like Wudu can be performed in advance. - Question: What is the rule if someone removes Khufain after performing Masah?
Answer: The Wudu remains intact, but they must wash their feet to regain eligibility for Masah.
