Al-‘Uthaymeen states
that there is no set amount but once is enough, as long as all impurities have
been removed. If not, then one must increase until it has been totally gotten
rid of. The evidence for this is the Hadeeth of the bedioun man who urinated in
the Masjid of the Prophet and the Prophet commanded, “Pour water over the
urine” [al-Bukhaaree (220) and Muslim
(284)] without setting an amount.
-If the cause of the impurity
is something physical, then the physically aspect of impurity must be removed (and
whatever is around it if it has been effected) and then the place washed until all
aspects of impurities have been removed.
The Hanbalees have
stated the minimum washing is seven, for all types of impurities that are not
on the ground (and a minimum of three wipes for Istinjaa). They stated that there must be seven separate washings, meaning
one washes and then squeezes out the water and then washes it again and repeats
this seven times.
Al-Uthaymeen states however the correct opinion is that impurities are removed without there being a specific number, unless there is evidence to suggest so.
