Summary of the Video: شرح نهاية التدريب | الدرس الخامس | محمد بلال غنام الميداني

This video is a detailed Islamic jurisprudence lesson focusing on the Book of Purification (كتاب الطهارة), a fundamental topic in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) that deals with the rules and types of water used for purification before acts of worship such as prayer. The instructor, Sheikh Muhammad Bilal Ghanam, explains the classification and rulings related to water purity, types of water, and their permissibility in purification rituals.

Main Ideas and Concepts

  1. Introduction to the Book of Purification:
    • Purification is a prerequisite for many acts of worship, especially prayer.
    • The Book of Purification is traditionally the first chapter in fiqh books because of its importance.
    • Purification includes both physical (visible) and spiritual (invisible) purity.
    • The lesson addresses beginners and aims to clarify the topic in a simple, organized manner.
  2. Types of Water Permissible for Purification:
    • The author (scholar) identifies seven types of water permissible for purification:
      1. Rainwater
      2. Well water
      3. Sea water
      4. River water
      5. Spring water
      6. Snow water
      7. Hail water
    • All these waters share the ruling of being pure and permissible for purification.
    • Examples and evidences from the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) life are cited, such as ablution from the well of Bada’a and the blessed Zamzam water.
    • Differences between snow and hail are explained (snow is soft and light; hail is hard and heavy).
    • The significance of these waters is linked to both physical and moral purity.
  3. Classification of Water According to Purification Rulings:

    The author divides water into four categories based on purity and permissibility to purify others:

    • Category 1: Pure, Purifying, and Not Disliked
      • Water that is pure in essence, purifies others, and its use is not disliked.
      • It remains as originally created, does not cause impurity if it falls on clothes or body.
      • Permissible for ablution, bathing, cooking, and drinking.
    • Category 2: Pure, Purifying, but Disliked
      • Water that is pure and purifies but is disliked to use due to health concerns.
      • Specifically, sun-baked water (heated by the sun in hot climates and stored in certain types of vessels like iron or copper).
      • The dislike is precautionary (may cause leprosy), but it is not forbidden.
      • Conditions for dislike include the water being heated by the sun, in a hot country, stored in a malleable metal container.
      • If no other water is available, it can be used.
    • Category 3: Pure but Not Purifying
      • Water that is pure and drinkable but does not purify others (cannot remove ritual impurity).
      • This includes:
        • Used water: water that has been used in obligatory ablution or washing and has come into contact with the body.
        • Changed water: water mixed with pure substances that alter its characteristics significantly (e.g., tea water, rose water, soap water).
      • Used water from the first washing in obligatory ablution is considered used water.
      • Water that has changed by mixing with pure substances is not permissible for purification.
      • The change must be significant (not just adjacent or minor).
      • Sensory or estimated changes in water are considered for ruling purity.
    • Category 4: Impure Water
      • Water that is impure due to contact with impurities.
      • Two cases:
        • Small quantity of water (< two qullas) becomes impure if any impurity contacts it.
        • Large quantity (≥ two qullas) becomes impure only if the impurity changes its taste, color, or smell.
      • The standard measure “two qullas” is approximately 190-200 liters (about a barrel).
      • Impurity that is not perceptible to the senses (color, taste, smell) is excused.
      • Impure water is not permissible for drinking or purification.
  4. Additional Concepts:
    • Explanation of “two qullas” as a measure for water volume in fiqh.
    • Distinction between mixing and adjacency in water impurity:
      • Mixing: substances blend and cannot be separated easily.
      • Adjacency: substances are next to each other but distinct.
    • The ruling on liquids other than water:
      • All liquids become impure upon contact with impurity, regardless of quantity.
    • The spiritual dimension of
