Preface from the book

This work AI ‘Izziyyah for the English Audience is part of a design to make some of the Arabic books written by traditional authors on Islamic Jurisprudence available to numerous Muslims who desire to know more about Islam especially Fiqh but are handicapped due to the fact that the books are written in Arabic which they do not un- derstand.

The situation should not be allowed to remain unchanged. Attempts have been made earlier by Dr. Y.A. Quadri in this di- rection by writing both Islamic Acts of Worship According to Al ‘Ashmawi and Al Akhdari’s compendium on Islamic Acts of Worship.

 Another scholar in person of Alhaji Bello Muhammad Daura had translated Ar-Risālah into English Language while Mallam IO. Oloyede is currently working on Mukhtasar Khalil.

With these books available in English language, it is hoped that many people will find tremendous fulfilment of their desire to quench their thirst for Islamic Jurisprudence-Fiqh.

We must not fail to acknowledge the inspiration given to us by Professor LA.B. Balogun former Head, Department of Religions. University of Ilorin to whom this work is dedicated. also, we ex- press our appreciation to our colleague Dr. Z.I. Oseni for his usual useful advice and invaluable suggestions. YA Quadri IO. Oloyede  

Purification

Allah the Most Exalted said: “And We have sent down pure water from the sky” (Qur’ān 25:48).

Pure water is that which is in itself clean and can also cleanse other things, such as river-water, well- water, and rain-water’, provided none of its three qualities – colour, taste and odour – has been changed by what is normally extraneous to it, such as milk, honey, urine or excreta.

If any of its qualities is changed by anything including those mentioned, it is not valid for ablution, ritual bath, or cleansing from filth (i.e. after visiting the toilet).

Water which is changed by a clean material remains clean but not pure; it can be used for general purposes but it is not to be used for religious acts.

Pure water that is polluted by filth is filthy, it is neither used for general purposes nor for religious acts. If water is changed by its habitat; such as sand, salt or lime; or by what procreates in the water such as watermoss; or that which had stayed in the water for a long period, then such is not harmful; it is for both general and religious uses.

When filth falls into a small quantity of water – such as the water in a container meant for ablution or for ritual bath – but the filth does not effect any change in the water, then cleansing or purification with the water is proper but using it is objectionable if another pure water can be found.

Water which had been used for ablution or ritual bath is pure, but it is objectionable to use it for purification, if another pure water is available.

Concerning its uses Included are such as spring-water, treated tap-water and water from similarly pure sources.
