Issue No.340- It is haram, as an obligatory precaution, to touch the Name of Allah, without wuḍū, in whichever language it is written. And it is also haram to touch, without wuḍū, the blessed names of the holy Prophet of Islam, the holy Imams and Lady Fatima (peace be upon them), if it violates their sanctity.

Issue No.341- It is recommended that in order to be in a state of ṭahārah, one performs wuḍū, whether it is near the time of prayer or not. And he can perform prayer with that wuḍū.

Issue No.342- If a person believes that the time for a prayer has commenced and makes the intention of obligatory wuḍū, but realizes after performing the wuḍū that the time for the prayer had not commenced, his wuḍū will be valid.

Issue No.343- Wuḍū is recommended for the following purposes: (i) Recitation of the holy Qur'an; (ii) For the prayer for the dead individual; (iii) Reciting supplications, etc. It is also recommended for a person who has already performed wuḍū, to perform a fresh wuḍū for performing prayers. If wuḍū is performed for the purpose of any one of the above acts, it suffices for doing all acts in which performing wuḍūis required.

Issue No.339- It is not obligatory to prevent a child or an insane person from touching the s c r i p t of the holy Qur’an. However, if they do an action that violates its sanctity, they should be prevented.

Issue No.346- If there is an open wound, abscess or broken bone in one’s face or hands, but water is harmful for it, it suffices if one washes its surroundings and wipes a wet hand on it if it is not harmful to it. However, if it is harmful, it is recommended that he places a ṭāhir piece of cloth on it and wipes a wet hand on that cloth.

Issue No.350- If a person has a jabīrah on the palm of his hand and fingers and he has wiped a wet hand on it while performing wuḍū, he should also perform the wiping of his head and feet with the same wetness, and if it is not sufficient, he should take wetness from other parts of wuḍū.

Issue No.353- If something is stuck on the parts of wuḍū or ghusl, and it is not possible or it is too hard to remove it, one should follow the rules of jabīrah. That is, he should wash its surroundings and wipe a wet hand on it.

Issue No.354- The jabīrah ghusl is like jabīrah wuḍū.

Issue No.355- If a person is obliged to do tayammum, and he has a wound, abscess or fractured bone in parts of tayammum, he should perform jabīrah tayammum as prescribed in jabīrah wuḍū.

Issue No.356- If a person who is obliged to perform jabīrah wuḍū or ghusl knows that his excuse will not cease until the end of the prayer time; he can perform his prayer at the beginning of the time. However, if there is hope that his excuse will cease before the end of prayer time, he should wait, as an obligatory precaution.
