The Creed of Compassion-Islamic Teachings & Answering Doctrinal Misconceptions

Issue No.215- If liquor becomes vinegar by itself, or by mixing it with something, it becomes ṭāhir; this is called "inqilāb" (change).

Issue no. 223- If the blood of a human being or of a blood-gushing animal is transferred to the body of a non-blood gushing animal, and it is considered as its blood, the blood becomes ṭāhir. This process is called “intiqāl”.

Issue No.228- Consequential ṭahārah means for a najis object to become ṭāhir as a consequence of something else becoming ṭāhir. The details of this issue will follow.

Issue No.239- The faeces and urine of an animal which is accustomed to eating human excrement is najis and its meat is haram too, and in order to make it ṭāhir it must be fed with ṭāhir food until it is no longer called a faeces-eating animal. The following animals need to be prevented from eating human faeces for the following specified periods: - Camels for forty days; - Cows for thirty days; - Sheep for ten days; - Water fowl for five days; - Hens for three days.For other animals, it would be sufficient if they are no longer called faeces-eating animal.

Issue No.234- If the body of an animal becomes najis, it will become ṭāhir when the original najāsah is removed. For example, if the beak of a bird is stained with blood, or if an animal sits on something najis, its body will become ṭāhir once the blood and the najāsah are removed.

Issue No.242- When a Muslim’s body, clothes or any other thing which is in his possession become najis with him being aware of it, and that Muslim leaves afterwards, if it is probable that he made them ṭāhir, they will be ṭāhir provided that they are things in which ṭahārah is necessary, like clothes in which one performs prayer, or food and utensils.

Issue No.256- Wuḍū means to wash the face and arms, and to wipe the front part of the head and the top of the feet, in the manner that will be explained in the following issues.

Issue No.257- What is meant by the face lengthwise, is the distance between the upper part of the forehead, from the hair line, down to the end of the chin, and its breadth should be the distance between the thumb and middle finger; if even a small part of this area is left out, the wuḍū will be void. Thus, in order to ensure that the prescribed area has been fully washed, one should also wash a bit of the adjacent parts to this area.

Issue No.263- After washing the face, one should first wash the right arm and then the left, from the elbow to the tips of fingers.

Issue No.269- After washing both arms, one should wipe the front part of his head with the remaining wetness of wuḍū on his hand, and as an obligatory precaution it is necessary to wipe with the right hand, and it is better to wipe the head from the upper part downwards. There would also be no problem in wiping the head from the lower part upwards.

Issue No.272- After wiping of the head, one should wipe the top of the feet with the remaining wetness on the hands from the tip of the toes (other than the small toe which it is not allowed as an obligatory precaution to be wiped alone) up to the bump on the foot, and, as a recommended precaution, up to the joint of foot.

Issue No.279-Wuḍū by immersion means that one can immerse the face and arms into water with the intention of wuḍū or after dipping them into water, to take them out with the intention of wuḍū.
