االدرس 01 شرح متن أبي شجاع بصحبة فضيلة الشيخ مصطفى عبد النبي :(أنواع المياه وأقسامها)

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will explore the various types and categories of water as discussed in the first lesson of the "شرح متن أبي شجاع" series by Sheikh Mustafa Abdul Nabi. Understanding these classifications is essential for applying Islamic jurisprudence regarding water usage in daily life, rituals, and other practices.

Step 1: Understand the Importance of Water in Islam

• Water is a fundamental element in Islamic rituals, including purification (wudu) and ablution.
• Recognizing the types of water helps in determining their usability for different religious practices.

Step 2: Identify the Types of Water

There are three primary categories of water in Islamic law:

1. Pure Water (ماء طاهر)

   • This is water that is clean and can be used for purification.
   • Examples include rainwater, river water, and spring water.

2. Impure Water (ماء نجس)

   • This water is contaminated and cannot be used for purification.
   • Examples include water that has come into contact with impurities (e.g., urine, feces).

3. Water That Is Neither Pure nor Impure (ماء مختلط)

   • This water has mixed qualities and its usability depends on the extent of contamination.
   • An example is water that has absorbed a slight color or smell from an impurity but still retains its primary characteristics.

Step 3: Learn About Specific Classifications

• Natural Water Sources: Recognize that water from natural sources (like rivers and lakes) is generally considered pure unless proven otherwise.
• Stored Water: Water stored in containers can become impure if it comes into contact with impurities.
• Rainwater: Generally considered pure and can be used for purification unless it has collected impurities.

Step 4: Practical Applications

• When using water for religious purposes, always assess its type:
  • For wudu, ensure you use pure water.
  • If unsure about water quality, err on the side of caution and seek alternative sources.

Conclusion

Understanding the classifications of water is crucial for Muslims, especially in relation to purification rituals. By recognizing the differences between pure, impure, and mixed water, individuals can ensure that they are adhering to Islamic guidelines in their daily practices.
