Wiswas-related: He feels a drop leave his private part after Wudhû’

May 20, 2012 1 comment

Question:

When a person makes ablution after having answered the call of nature, he feels a drop leave his private-part. What should he do?

Shaykh al-Fawzân:

Those are obsessive thoughts. After having answered the call of nature, he washes or dries and washes himself. He thereafter makes ablution and prays without paying attention to the obsessive thoughts and whether a drop has come out or not. Those are obsessive thoughts one should not care about.

Did you break wind or was it Shaytân pulling a hair?

Gasses during prayer or Shaytan pulling a hair from your back?

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (radhiya Allahu ‘anh) reported that the prophet (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “The devil may approach one of you during Salah, and pull a hair from your back. If the man were to imagine that his ablution had been broken, he should not leave his prayer, unless he should hear a sound or perceive a smell.” (Recorded by Abu Dawud)

(Waswasah: The whispering of the Shaitan, p. 44)

What to do in order to prevent any Waswasah in regards to urine drops after answering the call of nature?:

Shaykh Abu Muhammad bin Qudamah al-Maqdisi said:

“It is recommended to sprinkle one’s private part and trousers with water after urinating (in the toilet), in order to prevent any waswasah. And so, if one finds any wetness in his clothing, he would say: “This is the water that I sprinkled there.” al-Hakam bin Sufyan at-Thaqafi (radhiya Allahu ‘anh) reported that when the prophet (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) urinated, he performed ablution and sprinkled water on his private parts.” (Recorded by Abu Dawud)

(Ibid, p. 44)

These two gems are great reliefs for those who are affected by the whispers of Shaytân. You will see them remaking Wudhu’ and prayers for several hours and in the end they even imagine that they have the disease of a 60 year old man, while just a month or two ago before they started to pray, they were totally healthy.

Camels were created from what the jinn were created from

Are camels created from fire?

Question:

Is it correct that camels are a creation from fire? Or wher they created from what the jinn were created from?

Answer: {Shaykh Falaah Ismael}

Yes. Ibn Al Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, mentioned that this is the reason for making ablution (wudu) upon eating camel meat, because they were created from fire, they were created from what the jinn were created from. For this reason, fire is cooled with water, meaning wudu. Thus the person makes wudu if he eats camel meat.

For this reason when it was said to the Prophet, peace and blessings are upon him:

Can I pray in the pens of sheep? He said: Yes.

The man said: Can I pray in the stalls of camels?  He said, ‘No.’ meaning, don’t pray in the places Camels kneel’.

Turning one’s head during Salah to seek refuge (in Allah) from Shaytaan

Turning one’s head during Salah to seek refuge (in Allah) from Satan

(Part No. 11; Page No. 130)

Question : A Muslim sister asks about the ruling on turning one’s head during Salah to seek refuge in Allah from the devil called Khanzab (a devil that distracts a servant at the time of prayer)?

A: There is no harm in turning the head during Salah seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan when casting his insinuations. Rather, it is desirable when there is a dire need for it on condition that it is done by moving one’s head only, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered ‘Uthman ibn Abul-‘As Ath-Thaqafi (may Allah be pleased with him) to do so when he complained to the Prophet about the insinuating thoughts that Satan casts during prayers, so he ordered him to spit (dryly) to his left side three times and seek refuge in Allah from Satan.[1] He did so and Allah granted him recovery.

As for turning one’s head during performing Salah without a due reason, this is undesirable. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked about this, he said: It is a quick stealing by which Satan takes away (a portion) from the prayer of a person (By making him glance left and right). May Allah guide us all to what pleases Him! He is All-Hearing and Responsive.
