[fiqh urud]

Purification from Hadath (the state of ritual impurity(.

*********************************************************

          Hadath is that which, when produced from or befalls a body, prevents a Muslim from acts of worship that purification is a requisite for, e.g. As-Salah, circumambulation of the Ka’abah etc. Hadath is divided into two:

Minor Hadath:

It is what makes ablution imperative, like urine, defecation, passing wind and all other nullifiers of Al-Wudu’ (ablution). These will be listed later on in the text. Purification from these is by performing Al-Wudu’. Allah , says: “ O you who believe! When you intend to offer Salah (daily prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over ) your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles. ” (Maidah:6)]

Major Hadath

It it that which makes Ghusl (a purificatory bath) imperative, e.g. sexual relations, menstruation etc. Purification from this state is through Ghusl. Allah Says: “If you are in a state of janabah (i.e. after sexual relations), purify yourselves (by bathing your whole body).”] [Maidah:6]

          If it is impossible to purify oneself through wudu or ghusl, then one purifies himself through Tayammum (a dry form of purification using soil, to be discussed in a later section
