ف: چار شاخوں سے مراد عورتوں کے دونوں ہاتھ اور دونوں پیر ہیں، اس کا حاصل یہ ہے کہ بوقت جماع ذکر کے سر داخل ہو جانے سے غسل لازم ہو جاتا ہے خواہ منی نکلے یا نہ نکلے، خلفاء راشدین اور اکثر صحابہ کرام رضی اللہ عنہم اور چاروں اماموں کا یہی مذہب ہے۔

Hadith 483

Volume 1

English

Narrated Umm Salama: Umm Sulaym asked, "O Messenger of Allah, Allah is not shy about the truth, so is there any ghusl required for a woman when she experiences a wet dream?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes, if she sees the water." Umm Salama covered her face and said, "O Messenger of Allah, can a woman have a wet dream?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Yes, may your right hand be dusted. How else would her child resemble her?" [Agreed upon] Muslim narrated with an additional narration from Umm Sulaym: "The man's water is thick and white, while the woman's water is thin and yellow, so whichever of them rises or precedes, the resemblance of the child will be from that."

Hadith 484

Volume 1

English

Narrated Aisha: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about a man who feels wetness but does not recall having a wet dream. He said, "He should perform ghusl." And about a man who believes he had a wet dream but finds no wetness, he said, "He does not need ghusl." Umm Sulaym asked, "Does a woman have to perform ghusl if she sees that?" He said, "Yes, for women are the counterparts of men." [Narrated by Tirmidhi and Abu Dawood, and Darimi and Ibn Majah narrated up to his statement: "He does not need ghusl"). Al-Khatabi said: "This indicates the confirmation of analogy and the comparison of the similar to the similar."

رحمۃ اللہ علیہ فرماتے ہیں کہ ناک میں بھی بال ہوا کرتے ہیں اور اس حدیث سے معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ ناک میں پانی لینا بھی فرض ہے اور اہل لغت کا بیان ہے کہ بشرہ میں بدن کا تمام ظاہری حصہ داخل ہے اس طرح اس حدیث سے غُسل جنابت میں کلی کرنے کی فرضیت بھی ثابت ہوتی ہے کیونکہ منہ ظاہر بدن میں داخل ہے۔

Hadith 494

Volume 1

English

Narrated Ali: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever leaves a single hair of impurity (from the state of janabah) without washing it, it will be punished by the fire." Ali said: "So I started washing my head from that time, and I washed it three times." [Narrated by Abu Dawood, who did not comment on it. In the Takhlees al-Habeer commentary, it was stated that its chain of narrators is authentic.) Ali al-Qari said: "This hadith is good and strengthens the previous hadith narrated by Tirmidhi, although the weakness in it is only in the chain of narrators of Tirmidhi's narration, not in the narration of Abu Huraira. Ahmad and Darimi narrated a similar hadith, but they did not repeat the part 'so I started washing my head.'" This hadith emphasizes the thoroughness of ghusl (ritual washing) and the importance of not leaving any impurity, even a single hair, untouched. "1 The statement 'From there, I shaved my head' – Sheikh Ibn Hajar said: 'It is clear that his action, if it was contrary to his (the Prophet's) practice and that of the other caliphs, who did not shave their heads except after completing the rites of pilgrimage, should be regarded as a concession (rukhsa), not a regular practice (sunnah).'"

Hadith 495

Volume 1

English

Narrated Aisha: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ghusl from janabah, he began by washing his hands, then poured water with his right hand over his left to wash his private parts. He then performed ablution (wudu) as for prayer, and then took water and inserted his fingers into the roots of his hair. After ensuring his hair was fully wet, he scooped three handfuls of water and poured them over his head. Then he poured water over the rest of his body, and finally washed his feet. [Narrated by Muslim. Abu Dawood al-Tayalisi narrated something similar, and added at the end: "Then, when he was finished, he washed his feet.")

"A woman from the Ansar asked the Prophet ﷺ about how to perform the ritual purification after menstruation.

He replied, 'Purify yourself with it.' She repeated, 'How should I purify myself with it?' He said, 'SubhanAllah, purify yourself with it.' I (Aisha) then pulled her towards me and said, 'Use it to cleanse the traces of blood.' [Agreed upon]"

Note 1

Take a piece of musk...

(1) The statement: "Take a piece of musk..." – Al-Aini in Umdat al-Qari mentioned in his explanation of deriving legal rulings from this that it is recommended for a woman who is performing ghusl (ritual bath) after menstruation or childbirth to use perfume on all the areas of her body that were affected by blood. Al-Mahmali stated that this is because it helps in conceiving quickly and also prevents bad odors. There is a difference of opinion regarding when it should be used. Some say it should be applied after the ghusl, while others say it should be applied before. It is also recommended to use perfume on a woman's private parts by taking a piece of cotton or something similar, applying musk or something similar on it, and inserting it into her private parts after the ghusl, with the same practice recommended for a woman after childbirth.

قوله

(۱) قوله: خذي فرصة من مسك إلخ : قال العيني في عمدة القاري في بيان استنباط الأحكام فيه استحباب التطيب للمغتسلة من الحيض والنفاس على جميع المواضع التي أصابها الدم من بدنها. قال المحاملي: لأنه أسرع إلى العلوق وأدفع للرائحة الكريهة، واختلف في وقت استعمالها لذلك. فقال بعضهم: بعد الغسل. وقال آخرون: قبله. وفيه استحباب تطيب فرج المرأة بأخذ قطعة من صوف ونحوها، وتجعل عليها مسكا أو نحوه، وتدخلها في فرجها بعد الغسل والنفساء مثلها.

Note 1

علامہ عینی رحمة اللہ علیہ نے عمدۃ القاری میں استنباط احکام کے بیان میں کہا ہے کہ اس حدیث میں اس چیز کی دلیل ہے کہ حیض و نفاس سے فارغ ہوکر غسل کرنے والی عورت کے لئے مستحب ہے کہ اس کے بدن میں جن جگہوں کو خون لگا تھا ان پر خوشبو لگائے۔ اور محاملی نے کہا کہ خوشبو لگانے سے جلد حمل قرار پاتا ہے اور بہت جلد بدبو دور ہوتی ہے البتہ اس میں اختلاف ہے کہ خوشبودار کپڑا کب استعمال کیا جائے، بعضوں نے کہا کہ غسل حیض یا نفاس کے بعد استعمال کیا جائے اور دوسروں نے کہا ہے کہ غسل کے پیشتر استعمال کیا جائے اور اس حدیث سے یہ بھی ثابت ہوتا ہے کہ عورت کے لئے مستحب ہے کہ اپنی شرمگاہ کو ایسے کپڑے سے خوشبودار کرے جس کو مشک یا کسی اور خوشبو میں بسایا گیا ہو، اور غسل کے بعد اس خوشبودار کپڑے کو اپنی شرمگاہ میں رکھ لے اور نفاس والی عورت کے لئے بھی یہی مستحب ہے۔

ف: اس حدیث میں مذکور ہے کہ حضرت رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ایک سیر مقدار پانی سے وضوء اور 4 سیر سے لے کر 5 سیر مقدار پانی سے غسل فرمایا کرتے، اس کے بارے میں علامہ شامی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے رد المحتار میں بحوالہ حلیہ یہ تحقیق بیان فرمائی ہے کہ وضوء اور غسل میں پانی کی مقدار کے متعلق بہت سے علماء نے مسلمانوں کا یہ اجماع نقل کیا ہے کہ وضوء اور غسل میں پانی کی کوئی خاص مقدار مقرر نہیں ہے البتہ ظاہر الروایہ میں وضوء میں کم سے کم پانی کی مقدار ایک سیر اور غسل میں 4 سیر سے لے کر 5 سیر جو بیان کی گئی ہے وہ بخاری اور مسلم کی اسی زیر بحث حدیث کی بناء پر ہے، لیکن یہ ایسی مقدار نہیں کہ جس کی پابندی لازمی ہے بلکہ یہ وضوء اور غسل کی کم سے کم مسنون مقدار ہے، چنانچہ بحر میں لکھا ہے کہ جس کسی کا وضوء یا غسل اس سے کم مقدار پانی سے پورا ہو جاتا ہے تو اس مقدار سے کم سے اس کا وضوء یا غسل جائز ہے اور اگر یہ مقدار اس کے لئے کافی نہیں تو اس مقدار سے زیادہ پانی استعمال کر سکتا ہے کیونکہ انسانوں کی طبیعتیں اور احوال مختلف ہوا کرتے ہیں، بدائع اور رد المحتار اور دیگر کتابوں میں یہی توضیح مذکور ہے۔ حاصل کلام یہ ہے کہ پانی کے استعمال میں اسراف نہیں ہونا چاہئے جہاں تک ہو سکے پانی کافی احتیاط سے استعمال کیا کریں اور حضرت رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے پانی کے استعمال میں اسی احتیاط کو عملاً کر کے دکھایا ہے۔ (یہ پورا مضمون رد المحتار شامی سے لیا گیا ہے۔)
