Maeda 6
6- YOU WHO BELIEVE, WHEN YOU RISE FOR SALAH, WASH YOUR FACES AND HANDS UP TO THE ELBOWS, AND WIPE YOUR HEADS AND FEET TO THE ANKLES, AND IF YOU ARE IMPURE, PURIFY YOURSELVES. BUT IF YOU WERE SICK, TRAVELING OR CAME BACK FROM THEN TOILET OR TOUCHED WOMEN AND DID NOT FIND WATER, THEN SEEK CLEAN DUST AND WIPE YOUR FACES AND HANDS WITH IT. ALLAH DOES NOT WISH YOU TO SUFFER ANY HARDSHIP, BUT WISHES TO PURIFY YOU, AND TO COMPLETE HIS BOUNTY UPON YOU, SO THAT YOU MAY GIVE THANKS.
This Ayah contain the rules about Wadoo: is to clean oneself from the minor impurity requiring wadoo, which are; urinating, defecating, the passing of wind, and sexual encounters not reaching penetration or ejaculation.
The Major impurity requires bathing the whole body, and it results from Sexual intercourse involving penetration, or ejaculation. Also women have to bath after end of their menses and after the end of the discharge following childbirth.
This is the description of the Fard Wadoo. Initially, Muslims had to do wadoo for each and every Salah, and then this rule was eased to be able to pray more than one Salah with the same wadoo as long as the state of purity was not ruined by any of the actions causing minor or major impurity. Some scholars say the Muslims had to do Wadoo for every Salah at the beginning then this rule was eased to only when they do any of the minor impurities. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him used to do wadoo for each Salah.
The Wadoo is necessary for the Salah, and not just because one went to the toilet, urinating or defecating. Ibn Abas reported: “We were with Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him, and then he went to do a toilet. When he came back food was brought to us, we said: “Allah’s messenger, would you do wadoo?” He said: “Am I going to Salah so that I should do Wadoo”. (Muslim & Termezi)
On another occasion, the same thing happened and Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Bu I have been commanded to do Wadoo when I am going do Salah”. (Abu Dawood & Nesae & Termezi)
The Wadoo should start with Allah’s name being mentioned saying “BesmAllah”. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Has not Wadoo, he who does not mention Allah’s name for it”. (Abu Dawood & Termezi)
The Intention also should be to do wadoo, not just having a wash.
Wadoo:
- Washing the face. The obligatory is one, and the Sunah is three times. The face should be washed (not wiped) and the face is from the hair of the head to the top part of the neck; and from one ear to the other, and preferably including the ears.
The beard is part of the face, some say passing wet fingers through the beard is Fard and others say that it is preferred.
Rinsing the mouth and washing inside the noses by sucking water into them then blowing, is thought by some to be Fard and others to be preferable.
- Washing Hands: Hands should be washed up to and including the elbows. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “My nation will come on the Day of resurrection with white faces and limbs (like horses) from the mark of the Wadoo. He of you who can make these markings longer, let he do it”. (Bukhari & Muslim)
Abu Huraira said: “I heard my loved one prayer and peace upon him say: “The Jewelry of the believer (in the Hereafter) reaches as far as the Wadoo does”. (Muslim & Nesae & Ahmed)
- Wiping the head: This is to wet the hand and run the fingers through the hair from the front to the back three times.
- Wiping the feet: Up to the ankle bones, which are the two protrusions on both sides of the legs, just above the and the ankle joint. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him used to wash his feet once, twice and three times on various occasions.
While the Muslims were travelling, Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him arrived while the Muslims were travelling, Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him arrived while they were doing wadoo for Asr, and they were wiping their feet. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said to them: “Wash thoroughly in wadoo, wow to the ankles from the Fire”. (Muslim)
Othman Ibn Afan narrated that: “Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him used to do the wadoo, in threes (washing or wiping three times)”. (Muslim)
All these parts should be covered with water properly. Omar Ibn El-Khatab reported that a man did the wadoo and he left an area like a nail without water. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him saw him and said to him: “Go back and do your wadoo better than you did”. (Muslim)
Wiping over the feet, Khof (Socks), Shoes and head cover:
It is permissible for a person wore socks, shoes or head cover for men or women after wadoo, to wipe them with water for wadoo. It is reported and confirmed by various sources that Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him. Jarir reported that Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him Urinated then did the Wadoo, and he wiped his two Khof (socks)”. (Bukhari & Muslim)
It is important to note that Jarir embraced Islam after this Sorah was sent down. In other occasions Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him wiped over his turban and the uncovered part of the head.
The Wadoo clears our sins off:
Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “When the Muslim (or believing) slave does the Wadoo, when he washes his face, every sin he looked at with his eyes is cleared with the water, and when he washes his hands, every sin his hands committed is cleared with the water, and when washes his feet, every sin his feet walked to went out with the water, until he ends with his sins all cleared”. (Muslim)
Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him also said: “Any of you who does the Wadoo properly, and says: ‘I bear witness that they the no God other than Allah and that Mohamed is His slave and messenger’, but will have the eight gates of Paradise opened for him to choose which to enter through”. Then he continued: “There is not a Muslim who would do the wadoo properly, and rises to pray two Rakaa seeking Allah with his heart and his face, but the Paradise will be his”. (Muslim)
Indeed, no Salah is accepted if without a Wadoo. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Allah does not accept the charity from stolen money, or Salah without purifying”. (Muslims and Abu Dawood)
If there is no water:
If there is no water for wadoo, or if there is very little water which is needed to drink and maintain life, then Allah the Highest made Tayamom A license. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him have shown us in more than one Hadith that this is by gently striking one’s hands on a dusty surface then blowing the dust away, then wiping the face and then the hands over each other.
The above will be sufficient for purifying from the Major impurity and for Wadoo.
This license is given for us so that the Salah should not be missed, under any circumstances, which tells us about the importance of Salah.
