عمدة الأحكام (3) || فضيلة الشيخ د. عبدالعزيز العجيمي

The session begins with an introduction and a recap of the previous lesson, focusing on five important hadiths related to purification. This includes the ruling on purifying a vessel licked by a dog, the description of the Prophet's ablution, the preference for starting with the right side in purification and other good deeds, and the virtue of ablution in making Muslims distinguishable on the Day of Judgment.

The speaker introduces the chapter on Istinja' (cleaning after relieving oneself), defining it as removing impurities from the private parts using pure water or a clean, permissible stone. He explains that purification can be done with water (Istinja') or with stones/similar items (Istijmar), and cites a hadith prohibiting touching one's private parts with the right hand while urinating.

The discussion moves to the etiquette of entering and exiting the restroom. He explains the supplication to be recited before entering the restroom: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal khubuthi wal khaba'ith' (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from impure males and females). The meaning of 'Al-Khubuth' and 'Al-Khaba'ith' is clarified as referring to male and female devils. The supplication upon exiting is also mentioned: 'Ghufranaka' (I ask for Your forgiveness).

The speaker introduces a hadith from Abu Ayyub al-Ansari prohibiting facing or turning one's back to the Qiblah (Kaaba) while relieving oneself. He explains 'Al-Gha'it' as a euphemism for defecation and 'Al-Marahid' as restrooms. The ruling applies generally, whether in open spaces or enclosed buildings. He discusses different scholarly opinions on this matter, especially regarding buildings, presenting arguments for both prohibition and permissibility based on various hadiths, including Abdullah ibn Umar's observation of the Prophet.

A hadith from Anas ibn Malik describes the Prophet's practice of carrying water for Istinja', indicating the permissibility of using only water for purification. The speaker highlights that water is more effective for cleansing than stones. He also discusses the wisdom behind carrying a 'Anzah' (small spear) along with water, suggesting it was for supporting himself during ablution or prayer after Istinja'.

The video covers a hadith from Abu Qatadah prohibiting touching the private parts with the right hand while urinating, and using the right hand for cleaning after defecation. This is due to the honor of the right hand, which is used for eating and other good deeds. The third prohibition mentioned is not breathing into a drinking vessel, due to potential harm, bad odor, and making others averse to drinking from the same vessel.

The speaker discusses a hadith about two individuals being punished in their graves, one for not being careful about urine splashes and the other for spreading gossip (namimah). He clarifies that 'not in a big matter' means it was not difficult to avoid. This hadith emphasizes the reality of grave torment and the importance of being meticulous in purification and avoiding gossip.

The video moves to the chapter on Siwak. The speaker defines Siwak as the stick used for brushing teeth, explaining its linguistic origins and meaning. He clarifies that 'miswak' could refer to the tool or the act of brushing. The importance of Siwak in Islam as a purification practice and a Sunnah of ablution is highlighted.

A hadith stating 'Siwak purifies the mouth and pleases the Lord' is cited to emphasize its virtues, which include cleanliness, good health, removal of bad breath, and earning reward. The speaker encourages mindfulness of seeking reward and following the Prophet's Sunnah when using Siwak. He also mentions the recommendation of using Siwak before every prayer and ablution, explaining the wisdom behind it as standing before Allah in a state of purity and good appearance.

A hadith from Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman mentions the Prophet using Siwak after waking up from sleep. The speaker explains that this is because sleep often causes changes in mouth odor. Thus, Siwak is recommended whenever the mouth's condition changes, such as after prolonged silence or before conversing with others, to ensure a pleasant breath.

The video narrates A'isha's account of the Prophet's last use of Siwak before his passing. Her brother, Abd al-Rahman, entered with a fresh Siwak, and the Prophet looked at it. A'isha understood his desire, softened the Siwak, and gave it to him. The Prophet used it thoroughly. This event highlights several points: the preference for a fresh Siwak, preparing it before use, sharing a Siwak after purification, and the recommended practice of using Siwak during the final moments of life (Mawatin al-Ihtidar).

The final hadith from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari describes the Prophet's vigorous use of Siwak, where he was scrubbing his tongue so much that it seemed he was about to vomit. This demonstrates the importance of thoroughness in using Siwak, especially when needed. It also shows that using Siwak on the tongue is recommended and that it is permissible to use Siwak in public settings.
