Class 04 — [min 34:56-36:20]

Mas’alah: Who makes the decision pertaining to the level of illness (for Tayammum) if there is no medical doctor/physician around to judge it? Can the ill person judge his own condition by what's most likely, based on his own discretion?

Summary: 2 opinions.

• Opinion 1 (Hanafiyyah, Mālikiyyah, Hanābilah, & some Shāfi’īyyah): Yes, an ill person can judge his own condition and status.

• Opinion 2 (Some Shāfi’īyyah): No, he can’t judge his own condition and his own status.

→ Ar-Rājih: Opinion 1

It coincides with the overall principles of the Shari’ah, which doesn’t want someone to cause himself possible harm in such situations.

Class 04 — [min 32:11-34:43]
Mas’alah: If one is in close proximity to water, yet is unable to reach it due to a health condition/sickness, and no one is there to help him, is that a proper cause for Tayammum?

Summary:

• (S)he can do Tayammum by Ijmā’ as is related in numerous reference books of Fiqh. One who can’t reach the water due to his health and illness is given the same ruling and concession as one who doesn’t have water to begin with.

Class 04 — [min 13:57-17:01]
Mas’alah: Is it permissible to use gold and silver articles for purification?

Summary:

• 4 Madhāhib (Mālikiyyah, Shāfi’īyyah, Hanafiyyah, & Hanābilah): Vessels of gold and silver cannot be used for Wudū’, just as they can’t be used for eating/drinking.

———————————————

Mas’alah: If someone does use gold/silver vessel for Wudū’, is their Wudū’ valid?

Summary:

• 4 Madhāhib (Mālikiyyah, Shāfi’īyyah, Hanafiyyah, & Hanābilah): Indicated that a person gets sin for using the articles of gold/silver for Wudū’, but Wudū’ is valid. An- Nawawi and Ibn Hubayrah narrated consensus that it’s accepted.

Class 04 — [min 10:44-13:37]

Mas’alah: If a small amount of water mixes with Najāsah and doesn’t change the quality (color, taste, smell) of the water, does that make it impure?

Summary: 3 opinions.

• Opinion 1 (Hanafiyyah): “Small amount” of water = body of water less than 10x10 cubits and a hand scope deep. Any amount of Najāsah that enters this water renders it entirely Najs — can’t be used for Wudū’/Ghusl.

• Opinion 2 (Shāfi’īyyah & Hanābilah): Small amount = Qullatayn (227 kg of water). Impurity entering to what’s Qullatayn or less makes entire water impure.

• Opinion 3 (Mālikiyyah): No specific limit for small/large quantities of water. Impurity determined by whether any features of the water change.

→ Ar-Rājih: Opinion 3

Water is not considered impure unless qualities are changed by impurity, regardless of whether it is small or great in amount. Madhhab of Al-Mālikiyyah, appears to be what Ibn Taymiyyah leant towards, selected by Ibn Al-Qayyim, and 1 of 2 opinions chosen by Imām Ahmad.
