Ruling 322 — Purification (Ṭahārah)

Seven things invalidate wuḍūʾ: 1. urinating; and apparently included in the ruling of urinating is the similar moisture that comes out after urinating and before performing istibrāʾ; 2. defecating; 3. passing wind of the stomach and the intestine from the anus; 4. sleeping, which means that simultaneously one’s eyes do not see and one’s ears do not hear; however, if one’s eyes do not see but his ears hear, his wuḍūʾ does not become invalid; 5. things that cause one to lose his mind, such as insanity, intoxication, and unconsciousness; 6. istiḥāḍah of a woman, which will be discussed later; 7. janābah; and based on recommended precaution, all things for which one must perform ghusl.
