-If a person is
certain that he has nullified his Wudhoo and he is also certain that he has
purified himself, but is uncertain which one came first then he acts upon what
is most likely.
Uthaymeen explains; a
person say I know I broke my Wudhoo but I also know that I performed Wudhoo but
I’m not sure which I did first, then we follow what is most likely and not to
nullify the Wudhoo based on doubts.
For example, a person
prays Fajr and stays awake until mid-morning and now wants to pray Salaat
ad-Duhaa. He is certain he performed Wudhoo at Fajr but is also certain that he
has broken his Wudhoo. We say to this person, your Wudhoo is broken, because
the likelihood of you breaking Wudhoo is stronger and came after when you were
certain you performed Wudhoo.
Another example, a
person performs Wudhoo and prays Fajr and after that he is certain that he
broke his Wudhoo but then performed Wudoo, but is not sure which one he did
first; Wudhoo and then broke the Wudhoo or he broke the Wudhoo and then he
performed the Wudhoo. In this instance we say you still have Wudhoo.
The principle here is
if a person is certain that he has done something but then doubts whether that
thing has been nullified or not, then in origin, the action he did that he was
certain upon still remains and is not nullified.
So in the first
example, the person was certain that he broke his Wudhoo and in the second
example the person was certain that he re-preformed his Wudhoo.
A-
Some scholars (the Maalikees) have stated that if a person doubts (irrespective
of which one came first) then it is obligatory for him to perform Wudhoo
always, as the uncertainty needs to be removed.
The Hanbalees said if there is a doubt about which one came first then
he must perform Wudhoo.
Uthaymeen explains that the reason why the Hanbalees held this opinion
is because we have two contradictory situations and the person doesn’t know
which one to choose.
In the situation where we have two conflicting situations and there is
no way one can decipher; then the correct opinion is to do what is on the safer
side and perform Wudhoo, this way he will be certain to have Wudhoo once
performing it
To conclude this point
has four scenarios:
-He is certain that he
has Wudhoo but thinks he may have nullified it. He doesn’t pay attention to the
doubt and he has Wudhoo.
-He is certain that he
is impure but thinks he may have performed Wudhoo. He doesn’t listen to the
doubt and performs Wudhoo.
- He is certain he had
Wudhoo and is certain that he broke it, but he knows which one came first. He
follows what he knows in this situation.
-He is certain he had
Wudhoo and is certain that he broke it, but doesn’t know which one came first.
The safer opinion here is to repeat the Wudhoo.
