-The difference between Wudhoo and Wadhoo:
Wudhoo is the action of washing.
Wadhoo is the water one uses to wash with.
Similar to Suhoor and Sahoor:
Suhoor is the action of eating.
Sahoor is the food one is eating.
-Nullifiers are sometimes agreed upon by the scholars and sometimes the scholars differed on them, however in matters where the scholars differed one must seek the correct opinion based on the evidences.
The nullifiers:
1-Whatever comes out the two passages. ‘Uthaymeen explains that this includes solids, liquids and gas based on the Aayah, “any of you comes from answering the call of nature” [5:6] and the Hadeeth of Safwaan [may Allaah be Pleased with him] where the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] described the nullifiers of Wudhoo as being “Urine, defecation and sleep”. In the Hadeeth of Aboo Hurayrah [may Allaah be Pleased with him] he also described as passing wind as a nullifier. The scholars are agreed on wind from the back passage, however they differed on wind from the front passage (for women mainly):
-The Hanbalees said this nullifies the Wudhoo based on the generality of the evidences above.
-Others said it doesn’t nullify the Wudhoo because there is no specific evidence to suggest it being a nullifier. This is the opinion that ‘Uthaymeen seems to favour because it is just air and not a product of any impurities.
-Uthaymeen adds that anything that comes out of a man’s penis is also a nullifier, even it is be stones like the person who suffers from kidney stones. It nullifies because of the generality of the evidences above however it is not impure as there is no evidence to suggest it being impure. The evidences have described that impurities that come out of the penis are only – urine, Madhiy, Wadhiy and blood.
-If urine or defection is extracted from any other part of the body, then this nullifies the Wudhoo also. ‘Uthaymeen explains that this is only the case if the food or drink has digested, however if it has not, then it is closer in its resemblance to vomit. This is the differentiation given by Ibn ‘Aqeel (an authority in the Hanbalee Madhab) and is a good opinion. So if it resembles vomit, then it doesn’t nullify the Wudhoo but if it has digested then it is closer to being defection and nullifies the Wudhoo once it leaves the body. This is in regards to urine and defection, but what about wind? Some illnesses mean that the passing of wind is not through the conventional ways and can leave the body via a different route:
-The Hanablees say that wind passing through any other exit does not nullify the Wudhoo even if the smell is very bad.
-Others said it does nullify the Wudhoo because the ruling is the same even if it via a different exit. This is the opinion that Uthaymeen seems to favour.
-There being no difference between a little and a lot, all of it nullifies the Wudhoo. ‘Uthaymeen explains that the view of the Madhab is that urine or defection that exits the body from conventional or unconventional ways are all nullifiers. Others said that whatever is little is overlooked, however one must pay caution to opening the doors of Waswasa. So we say whatever is deemed by the customs as being a little, then this is the benchmark and doesn’t nullify the Wudhoo if it leaves the body in an unconventional way.
To be continued.
