Ngaji Kitab Fathul Qorib | Bab Bersuci #2

Introduction

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide based on the teachings from the video "Ngaji Kitab Fathul Qorib | Bab Bersuci #2." It focuses on the various types of water permissible for purification in Islamic practices and clarifies the differences between al-barad and ats-tsalj. Understanding these concepts is essential for practicing Islamic rituals correctly.

Step 1: Understanding the Seven Types of Water for Purification

In Islamic teachings, there are seven types of water that can be used for purification. Here’s a breakdown of each type:

1. Air Mutlak (Pure Water)

   • This is the purest form of water and includes:
     • Water from springs
     • Rainwater
     • River water

2. Air Musta'mal (Used Water)

   • Water that has been used for purification but is still considered valid if it retains its original properties.

3. Air Nabati (Plant Water)

   • Water derived from plants, such as that extracted from fruits or vegetables.

4. Air Ma'ul Ghayr (Water Mixed with Something)

   • Water that has been mixed with other substances but does not alter its original properties.

5. Air Asal (Honey Water)

   • Water mixed with honey, which can still be used for purification.

6. Air Garam (Salty Water)

   • Water that is salty yet still retains its purifying capabilities.

7. Air Al-Barad (Cold Water)

   • Water that is cold and used in certain conditions for purification.

Practical Tips

• Always ensure that the water used for purification does not have an unpleasant odor or color that could indicate contamination.

Step 2: Distinguishing Between Al-Barad and Ats-Tsalj

It’s important to understand the difference between al-barad and ats-tsalj, especially in Islamic rituals:

• Al-Barad

  • Refers to cold water that is still in a liquid state. It is permissible for purification purposes.

• Ats-Tsalj

  • Refers to ice or frozen water. While it may be cold, it is not considered suitable for purification until it melts and returns to liquid form.

Common Pitfalls

• Using ats-tsalj for purification before it has melted can invalidate the cleansing process.
• Ensure clarity on the state of water being used—if unsure, opt for water in its purest form.

Conclusion

In summary, this tutorial covered the seven types of water permissible for purification in Islam and highlighted the differences between al-barad and ats-tsalj. Understanding these principles is crucial for anyone practicing Islamic rituals, ensuring they are performed correctly and effectively. Next steps may include further study of related topics in the Fathul Qorib or practical application of these concepts in daily life.
