Najasat (uncleanliness)

[Sister Nomee]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

There are two types of najasat (uncleanliness)
Najasat Khaliza and Najasat Khafifa.

NAJASAT KHALIZA:- This is intense uncleanliness and has strict orders, The following are examples of this:-

Excreta, Urine, Blood, puss, Blood from haiz, nifaas and istihaza,
Mani and mazi, water from yes and breasts due to pain, Mouthful of vomit, Infants urine, Infants mouthful of vomit of milk, fat and meat of the dead, Milk and fat of haraam animals, Dogs saliva, Excreta and urine of haraam animals, Excreta of Halal animals, All kinds of wine.

If the body or cloth gets dirty with Najasat Khaliza more than a size of a coin then it is farz to clean it. salaat offered without cleaning will not be valid. If it is the same size of a small coin then it is wajib to clean it it is also wajib to repeat salat offered without cleaning it. If it is less than a coin then it is sunnah to clean it salaat will be counted without cleaning.

NAJASAT KHAFIFA

This is minor uncleanliness and does not have strict orders. the following are examples of Najasat Khafifa:-

Urine of halal animals such as cows and sheep's, urine of a horse, Excreta of haraam birds such as crows and eagles, Gall bladder of halal animals.

If less than a quarter of a part of the body or clothing becomes dirty with Najasat Khafifa then it is allowed to offer salat without cleaning. However if it is more than quarter then it is wajib to clean before performing salaat.

METHODS OF REMOVING NAJASAT

Najasat such as excreta and blood if it can be removed by washing once/twice the cloth will be clean but it is best to wash it three times.
Najasat such as urine (including child's urine) should be washed three times.

Clothing contaminated with Najasat should be washed separately from those which have no Najasat. Prior to loading the machine the Najasat such as Mani and excreta should be removed.

NAJASAT ON THE BODY

It is adequate to wash the body three times so that the Najasat is completely removed.

NAJASAT ON UNTENSILS
Also wash the utensils three times.

[b]NAJASAT ON CARPET[/b][/color]
The najasat should be scrubbed off and wash in the normal manner.

NAJASAT ON SHOES
If shoes become unclean with excreta etc then they should be cleaned, once the najasat has scraped off whilst drying.

NAJASAT ON ATTA (FLOUR)
If a dog or mouse touches flour (either in wet or dry form) then the part which was in contact should be removed, the rest will be clean.

WOW i didnt know all that JazakAllahkHair sister Nomee

I read this some where A Muslim should realize that even for such a thing as using toilet, Islamsays that either you must be the owner of the washroom or you must have the permission of the owner; otherwise, it will be haram for you to fulfill your natural needs in that place.



It is haram to face the qiblah or to keep the qiblah on the back side while urinating or evacuating the bowels. Qiblah means the direction of the Ka'bah (Mecca). There­fore, a Muslim must make sure that the toilet of his house is not built in such a way that when he sits on the toilet, his front or back side is towards the qiblah. If the cir­cumstances make it necessary to use a toilet on which a person will either be facing the qiblah or will have his back towards it, then he should refrain from facing the qiblah.
