Yahya said that Malik was asked what a man should do if, when he
did wudu, he forgot and washed his face before he had rinsed his
mouth, or washed his forearms before he had washed his face. He said,
"If someone washes his face before rinsing his mouth, he should rinse
his mouth and not wash his face again. If someone washes his forearms
before his face, however, he should wash his forearms again so that he
has washed them after his face. This is if he is still near the place
(of wudu)."
Yahya said that Malik was asked about what a man should do if he
had forgotten to rinse his mouth and nose until he had prayed, and he
said, "He does not have to repeat the prayer, but should rinse his
mouth and nose if he wishes to do any more prayers after that."
Yahya said that Malik said, "The situation with us is
that one does not have to do wudu for a nose-bleed, or for blood, or
for pus issuing from the body. One only has to do wudu for impurities
which issue from the genitals or the anus, or for sleep."
Yahya
said that Malik said, "There is no harm in that unless one sees
impurities on the cat's mouth."
Yahya said that
Malik was asked whether a man who vomited food had to do wudu and he
said, "He does not have to do wudu, but he should rinse the inside of
his mouth and wash his mouth out."
Yahya said that Malik was asked whether it was necessary to
do wudu because of regurgitating undigested food and he said, "No,
wudu is not necessary, but the mouth should be rinsed."
He said,
"Doesn't a man who has horses with white legs and white blazes on
their foreheads among totally black horses recognise which ones are
his own?" They said, "Of course, Messenger of Allah." He went on,
"Even so will they come on the day of rising with white marks on their
foreheads, hands and feet from wudu, and I will precede them to the
Hawd. Some men will be driven away from the Hawd as if they were
straying camels and I shall call out to them, 'Will you not come? Will
you not come? Will you not come?' and someone will say, 'They changed
things after you,' so I shall say, 'Then away with them, away with
them, away with them!' "
Yahya said that Malik said,
"I believe he meant this ayat - 'Establish prayer at the two ends of
the day and in some watches of the night. Good actions take away wrong
actions. That is a reminder for those who remember.' " (Sura 11 ayat
114).
Malik was asked about a man who did wudu but forgot to wipe
his head until the water had dried. He said, "I consider that he
should wipe his head and then repeat the prayer if he has already
performed it."
Malik was asked about a man who did wudu but
forgot to wipe his head until the water had dried. He said, "I
consider that he should wipe his head and then repeat the prayer if he
has already performed it."
Abdullah
then asked Umar and Umar replied, "If your feet are ritually pure when
you put them in the leather socks then you can wipe over the socks."
Abdullah said ,"What about if we have just come from relieving
ourselves?" Umar said, "Yes, even if you have just come from relieving
yourself."
Yahya said
that Malik was asked whether a man who did wudu for prayerand then put
on his leather socks, and then urinated and took them off and put them
back on again, should begin wudu afresh.
Malik replied, "He
should take off his socks and wash his feet. Only someone who puts on
leather socks when his feet are (already) ritually purified by wudu
can wipe over them. Someone who puts on leather socks when his feet
are not ritually purified by wudu, should not wipe over them."
Yahya said that Malik was asked about a man who did wudu with his
leather socks on and forgot to wipe over them until the water was dry
and he had prayed, and he said, "He should wipe over his socks and
repeat the prayer but not repeat wudu."
Malik was asked about
a man who washed his feet and put on his leather socks and then
started doing wudu, and he said, "He should take off his socks and do
wudu and wash his feet."
Yahya
said that Malik said, "Out of all that I have heard about the matter I
like what Ibn Shihab said the most."
Yahya said
that Malik said, "That is what I like most out of what I have heard
about the matter."
Said
ibn al-Musayyab said to him, "Even if it were to flow on my leg I
would not leave until I had finished the prayer."
2.20 The Repetition of the Prayer by a Person in a State of
Major Ritual Impurity, his Doing Ghusl, when He has Prayed without
Remembering it, and his Washing his Garments.
Malik spoke about a man who found traces of a wet dream on his
clothes and did not know when it had occurred and did not remember
anything he had seen in his sleep. He said, "Let the intention of his
ghusl be from the time when he last slept, and if he has prayed since
that last sleep he should repeat it. This is because often a man has a
wet dream and sees nothing, and often he sees something but does not
have an emission. But, if he finds liquid on his garment he must do
ghusl. This is because Umar repeated what he had prayed after the time
he had last slept and not what was before it."
Malik was asked whether
a man who had women and slavegirlscould have intercourse with all of
them before he did ghusl. He said, "There is no harm in a man having
intercourse with two of his slave girls before he does ghusl. It is
disapproved of, however, to go to a freewoman on another's day. There
is no harm in making love first to one slave girl and then to another
when one is junub."
Malik was asked about a man who was junub
and water was put down for him to do ghusl with.Then he forgot and put
his finger into it to find out whether it was hot or cold. Malik said,
"If no filth has soiled his fingers, I do not consider that that makes
the water impure."
A'isha continued,
"Abu Bakr came and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had fallen asleep with his head on my thigh . Abu
Bakr said, 'You have made the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and the people stop when there is no water nearby
and they are not carrying any with them ' "
She continued,
"Abu Bakr remonstrated with me and said whatever Allah willed him to
say, and began to poke me in the waist. The only thing that stopped me
from moving was that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had his head on my thigh. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, slept until morning found him
with no water. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, sent down the ayat of
tayammum and so they did tayammum. Usayd ibn Hudayr said, 'This is not
the first baraka from you, O family of Abu Bakr.'"
A'isha
added, "We roused the camel I had been on and found the necklace under
it."
Malik was asked whether a man who did tayammum for one
prayer should do tayammum when the time of the next prayer came or
whether the first tayammum was enough. He said, "No, he does tayammum
for every prayer, because he has to look for water for every prayer.
If he looks for it and does not find it then he does tayammum."
Malik was asked whether a man who did tayammum could lead others
in prayer if they were in wudu. He said, "I prefer that someone else
should lead them. However, I see no harm in it if he does lead them in
prayer."
Yahya said that Malik said that a man who did
tayammum because he could not find any water, and then stood and said
the takbir and entered into the prayer, and then someone came with
some water, did not stop his prayer but completed it with tayammum and
did wudu for future prayers.
Yahya said that Malik said,
"Whoever rises for prayer and does not find water and so does what
Allah has ordered him to do of tayammum has obeyed Allah. Someone who
does find water is neither purer than him nor more perfect in prayer,
because both have been commanded and each does as Allah has commanded.
What Allah has commanded as far as wudu is concerned is for the one
who finds water, and tayammum is for the one who does not find water
before he enters into the prayer."
Malik said that a man who
was in a state of major ritual impurity could do tayammum and read his
portion of Qur'an and do voluntary prayers as long as he did not find
any water. This applied only to circumstances in which it was
allowable to pray with tayammum.
Malik was asked about
how tayammum was done and what parts were covered and he said, "Strike
the ground once for the face and once for the arms and wipe them to
the elbows."
Malik said about some one who had a wet dream while he was on
a journey and there was only enough water for wudu and he was not
thirsty and so he did not need to use it for that, "Let him wash his
genitals, and whatever the semen has fallen on, with the water and
then he does tayammum with good earth as Allah has ordered him."
Malik was asked whether a man who was junub and wished to do
tayammum but could only find salty earth could do tayammum with that
earth, and whether it was disapproved of to pray on salty earth. He
said, "There is no harm in praying on salty earth or in using it to do
tayammum, because Allah the Blessed and Exalted has said, '...and do
tayammum with good earth.' One is purified by tayammum with everything
that is earth, whether it is salty or otherwise."
Malik was asked whether a woman whose period had finished could
do tayammum to purify herself if she could not find waterand he said,
"Yes, because she is like some one in a state of major ritual
impurity, who, if he cannot find water, does tayammum."
Yahya said that Malik said, "That is what is
done in our community."
Yahya said that Malik said, "The position with us is that when a woman
who bleeds as if menstruating starts to do the prayer again, her
husband can have sexual intercourse with her. Similarly, if a woman
who has given birth sees blood after she has reached the fullest
extent that bleeding normally restrains women, her husband can have
sexual intercourse with her and she is in the same position as a woman
who bleeds as if menstruating."
Yahya said that Malik said,
"The position with us concerning a woman who bleeds as if menstruating
is founded on the hadith of Hisham ibn Urwa from his father, and it is
what I prefer the most of what I have heard about the matter."
Yahya said that
Malik was asked if any hadith had come down about washing the private
parts of urine and faeces and he said, "I have heard that some of
those who have passed away used to wash themselves of faeces. I like
to wash my private parts of urine."
