It's been over seven months, with 40,000+ civilians killed in P41estine the majority of whom are women and children. Similarly with Muslims worldwide (Burma, Kashmir, Uygurs in East Turkestan etc..), and the silence of "Muslim" rulers is deafening. The only solution is for Muslims to mobilize their armies and unite under a single umbrella of Khilafah, which is the promise of Allah SWT. If you are in a position of power, please raise your voice. If you can't do much, please consider donating to Palestine Red Crescent Society or any other charity organisations which you truly trust, JazaskAllah khairan.
It is a specific method of cleansing which is conditional for the validity of Salaah. There are two types of cleanliness; cleanliness from Hadath-invisible impurity and cleanliness from Khabath-visible impurity.
It is to cleanse oneself performing Wudu-ablution, Ghusl-bath or Tayammum, an alternative of the former two.
It is to cleanse oneself after Istinjaa-answering to the natural calls, and remove impurity from one’s body, clothes and place (of prayer).
The following four can be used for cleansing.
1. Clean water
2. Clean soil
3. Clean stone
4. Currying (skin)
There are three types of water.
1. Water which is clean itself and can be used for cleansing
2. Water which is clean itself but cannot be used for cleansing
3. Water which is polluted
All types of rain and spring-water, which have not changed any of their qualities1 because of having been mixed with something that can pollute them. Like seawater, river-water, ice-water, snow-water and similar water.
Water, which has changed any or all of its qualities because of having been mixed with something that cannot pollute it, is of five types.
1. Water that has changed because of its being stagnant for a long period or due to its being birth place of fish and frogs.
2. Water which has changed because of the place where it is standing, the channel it flows through or having been mixed with clay or salt.
3. Water that has changed because of having been mixed with something impossible to avoid it, like the leaves of tree which fall on water through wind.
4. Water that has changed due to the colour of port which has been painted, tar for instance.
5. Water which has changed because of the impurity that is laying nearby. A stinking corpse for instance, laying next to water and water changes its quality due to getting mixed with odour through wind. Or water that has changed because of getting mixed with something which cannot be separated such as oil or fat.
There are three types of water which are clean themselves but they cannot be used for cleansing.
1. Water which has changed completely because of having been mixed with something pure which is not an integral part of water nor is it laying nearby, like sugar and honey.
2. Little quantity of water that has already been used for cleansing.
3. Water that has been extracted from any tree by rinsing, boiling or any similar method, such as rose and coconut-water.
Polluted water is of two types.
1. Water which has changed any of its qualities because of falling something impure into it, whether the impurity is in little or large quantity.
2. Water which is little in quantity will be polluted when something impure falls into it, even if water has not changed any of its qualities.
