NAJASA (FILTH)

Definition:
Literally: Najasa is what generally is considered filthy and
repulsive, even if it is pure, such as mucus, sperm, and saliva.
Legally : Najasa is any repulsive matter that prevents one from
performing prayers.

Types Of Najasa:
Major najasa:
This includes dogs and swine and any offspring of one of them (by
crossing it with a pure animal). All animals are pure except dogs and swine.
Even a hunting dog is najis.
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (Allah’s blessing and peace
be upon him)(ABAPBUH) said: “The purification of one’s vessel if a dog
drinks from it, is to wash it seven times, the first time with earth. Also
Allah says: “Unless if it is dead meat, or blood poured for the flesh of swine,
for they are filth (najasa).” The semen of dogs, swine or humans and other
animals is pure.
Ibn Abbas said: “The Prophet was asked about semen getting on a garment,
and the Prophet (ABAPBUH) said: It is like mucus or saliva. It is sufficient
to wipe it with a cloth or a sweet smelling plant.
Also Alqamah and Al-Aswad narrated that: A man stayed with Aisha and
began to wash his garment when he woke up. Aisha said: It would be
sufficient, if you see it (semen), to wash its area, and if you do not see it to
sprinkle water on it, for verily I used to rub it from the Prophet’s garment
and he would pray in it.”

Minor najasa:
The urine of a male baby, less than two years old, who had fed on
nothing but human milk.

Medium najasa:
All other types of najasa, as listed below:
Any liquid intoxicant, such as:

a. Wine even if it has been squeezed from grapes with the intention of
making vinegar. The proof that wine is najis is what Allah says: “Wine,
gambling (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows are filth of
Shaytan’s handwork. Eschew such as (abomination). Also, Ibn Umar narrated
that the Prophet (ABAPBUH) said: Every intoxicant is (regarded as) wine,
and every wine is forbidden.

b. Ale or beer, which is obtained by soaking sugary substances like dates and
barley until they ferment turning into a alcoholic beverage. This is najis
because it causes intoxicant like wine.

c. Alcohol, which is najis because it is intoxicating, However if alcohol is

added to perfume to dilute it without corrupting it, then it is excusable
najasa.
Non-liquid intoxicants and mind altering drugs are not najis even if dissolved
because their origin is solid, though they unslaughtered dead animal. The
evidence that dead animals are Najasa is what Allah says: “Forbidden to you
(for blood) is meat from dead animals. Three types of dead are excluded (of
being najis) are forbidden because they are cause loss of reason.
d. Humans. Allah says: “We have honored the descendants of Adam, and the
honored cannot be but pure. However, Allah saying: Truly the pagans are
filth” means the filthiness of belief not bodies. Therefore,, their deceased
are pure.

e. Fish and locusts. Abdullah Ibn Umar narrated that the Prophet
(ABAPBUH) said: “Permissible to you (for food) are two dead animals and two
bloods. The two dead animals are fish and locusts. The two bloods are the
liver and the spleen. Aquatic life that may be eaten by Muslims has the same
legal status as fish and is pure even when dead. Frogs may not be eaten by
Muslims and are najasa when dead.

f. Hunted animals if they are killed by a hunting dog or arrow

with in the conditions of hunting. Both the skin and flesh of such animals are
pure (taher).
The fetus of a slaughtered animal, that may be eaten, is pure (taher)
because the slaughtering of its mother counts for it, too.
That which is severed from a living animal is like the ‘dead’ of that animal.
Hence, a limb for example that is severed from a sheep while it is alive is
najasa.
Abu waqed Al-Laithi said: “TheProphet (ABAPBUH) said: Whatever is cut off
from the animal while it is alive is (considered as) an unslaughtered dead
animal. What is separated from fish and locusts is pure.

The hair of unslaughtered dead animals, and the hair of animals that
may not be eaten (such as the hair of a cat or mule), whether separated
from them during their life or after their death. In small amounts it is
excusable. As for the hair attached to the animal during its life, it legal
status is the same as that particular animal. All animals are pure during their
life except dogs and swine, therefore, their fur and hair also pure as long as
they are connected to them.
The meat, hair plumage, wool, down and fur of all animals that may be eaten
are pure, provided they are separated from the animal while living or
remained on it after slaughtering. However, if the animal dies then all of
these are najis. The evidence that all which is related to animals that may be
eaten is pure is Allah saying: And out of their wool and their down and
their hair, furniture and luxuries (to serve you) for a time
The hide of all unslaughtered dead animals, except the hide of the
above mentioned hunted animals. Also, the hide of animals that may not be
eaten is najis even if slaughtered. The hide of animals that may be eaten, if
slaughtered, is pure.
The milk of animals that may not be eaten. However, the milk of animals that
may be eaten is pure, for Allah says: Milk, pure and agreeable to those who
drink it. The milk which remains in the breast of dead animals is najis
because it is in contact with najsa (the dead meat), just like milk in a najis
container.
The bone, tooth, horn, hoof, and clove of animals that may not be eaten. And
unslaughtered dead animals that may be eaten. Ivory is najis, and should not
be used when damp because it will cause what is touches to become najis. It
is makrooh to use it with dry matter. Hence, if you have a comb made of
ivory and use it dry then it will not become najis but it is makrooh to use it.
It is not valid to make wudu out of a small amount of water in a vessel inlaid
with ivory if the water will come into contact with it.
Flowing blood, for Allah says: “Or blood poured forth for it is a filth
(najasa), except small amounts of it which are excusable. Blood from pimples
is considered to be a small amount, even if it is as much as the tip of the
finger. Blood which is stuck to bones and meat is an excusable najasa unless
it is mixed with another (different) matter. Therefore, such meat should
not be washed, but it is sufficient to wipe the blood with a dry cloth. If it is
washed, then the washing should continue until all trace of blood disappears
from the rinse water
Pus, because it is putrid blood. If the clear fluid discharge of sore wounds
has a bad smell then it is najis, otherwise it is pure.
Urine, excrement, feces of animals, mathi, wadi, and any other discharge
which comes out of the private parts, except for mani,. The mucus discharge
of a woman’s private parts (as long at it comes from the lower part of the
womb) and the fertilized egg becoming like a blood clot and then becoming
flesh, are all pure (it must be noted that, regardless of this discharge’s
purity, it breaks one’s wudu).

Urine is not of three types: The urine of humans, the urine of animals that
may be eaten, and the urine of animals that may not be eaten. All these are
najis. The evidence of the former is najis is the previously mentioned hadith
about the two people who were being tortured in their graves. The evidence
that the other two types are najis in what Allah says: And prohibits them
from what is bad (and filthy), and Arabs consider that to be filthy (najis), as
for the authentic hadith narrated by Anas that he ordered those who
suffered from some illness in Medina to drink the urine of camels donated to
charity, this was for medicinal reasons and it is known that it is permissible
with any najis matter except wine.

wadi something white in color no smell came out from after urine it is najasa
madi coming out from the sexual excitement it is najasa
mani the semen or actual orgasmic fluid not considered najasa

Feces is najis because of the general consensus of Muslim scholars. There is

no difference between the feces of a child or an adult. Feces of all animals
is also najis, even that of fish, locusts, flies, and birds. Abdullah Ibn Mas’oud
said: The Prophet (ABAPBUH) went to relieve himself and he asked me to
bring him three stones. I found two stones only and looked for a third but
could not find, so I took a dry piece of dung and brought it to him. He took
the two stones and threw away the dung saying: “This is najis.”Al-Nawawi
said: “If the affliction is widespread and impossible to avoid, then it is
excusable and prayer is acceptable.
Scholars have unanimous you should wash your private parts, and perform
wudu like you do for prayer. Furthermore, they come out of the private
parts as hadath. All feces are najasa.

11. Stomach secretions coming out of a sleeping person’s mouth. If one is

afflicted with this (as a result of a hiatul hernia for example), then it is
excusable najasa for him only. It is regarded as similar to the blood of fleas,
urine incontinence, or istihada which are excusable for the difficulty of
their avoidance. If there is no change in the color or smell of this secretion
then it is pure. Also, discharge from the chest, throat, or sinuses (such as
mucus, phlegm, or saliva) is pure. If one is not certain of the source of the
discharge, then it is recommended to wash it as a precaution.

12. Vomit, even from a suckling baby, even if the milk has not changed
(curdled). Rennet, taking from a suckling lamb, which has eaten something
other than milk, after its death or slaughter. However,, rennet taken from a
slaughtered suckling lamb that has eaten nothing but milk is pure.

Note: The initial presumption for all things is that they are pure, as long as
impurity has not been decisively established. For example, it is rumored that
a lotion or a food, which comes from non-Muslim countries, contain najis
ingredients such as lard or alcohol, the lotion or food is pure until its
impurity is decisively established.

Najasa which becomes pure by metamorphosis:

Wine that becomes vinegar of its own accord becomes pure, and so does its
container. Similarly, if it becomes vinegar by moving if from the shadow to
sun light, or vice versa provided nothing is added to it.

The hide of unslaughtered dead animals (except dogs and swine and the
offspring of any of them) becomes pure by tanning. This tanned hide can be
used for all purposes. Abdullah Ibn Abbas said: A servant of Maymounah was
given a sheep in charity then it died. The Prophet (ABAPBUH) passed by her
and said: Why don’t you take the hide and tan it so that you can benefit
from it? They said: But it is dead animal. He said: Verily only eating it is
forbidden. Tanning can be done with anything that can, clean, dry and
extract all excess substances from the hide so as to preserve the hide and
delay it decomposition. Profession

The blood of the musk deer becomes pure by metamorphosis into musk.

How objects become najis:

If something that is inherently najis or something that has become najis
touches something pure then, if both objects are dry the najasa is not
transferred and that which is pure remains so. However, if one or both is
wet or damp then the najsa is transferred and the pure object will have
become najis.
According to Hanafi, less than a mouthful of vomit is not najis. According to
Malik school, milk which comes out of the mouth of a suckling baby is not
najis if it has not curdled. Therefore, in cases of necessity one can follow
another school of thought. There are differences amongst scholars of the
Shafi’I school with regard to (the purity of) the mother’s clothes and
breast, which can be excused.
Coagulating yellowish substances taken from the stomach of a suckling goat
and used in cheese-Making If a liquid other than water is added to the
other, be it pure or najis, until it amount is equal to two qillas, with no change
in it, then the whole thing is najis.
If the amount of water is large,, (greater than two qillas), and it has
become najis due to a change in one of its three attributes by najasa, it
becomes pure if:
The change disappears. The change can disappear by one of three things:

The color, taste, or smell may disappear by itself, due to exposure to the
sun, air, or because of the time lapse.

By taking out some of it, provided that the remaining amount is equal to or
Greater than two qillas. If the remaining amount is less than two qillas then,
definitely, the water does not become pure. The disappearance of change
due to taking part of it can be explained, for example, by the fact that the
water maybe filling the vessel to the top such that wind (or sun) cannot
penetrate it, but when its amount is reduced, the wind (or sun) can penetrate
and thus it becomes pure. If the change disappeared, and we concluded its
purity, then it changed again, it remains pure and this change does not count
because it is pure water that has changed without coming into contact with
najasa, hence it Adding other water to it, whether the added water is pure
or najis, in large or small amounts, and whether it is poured onto it or springs
from within it.
If the change disappears by a cover up, like throwing musk into it thus
changing its smell, or shaking the water until it becomes murky due to the
soil at its bottom, then it does not become pure because a cover up does not
purify.

Liquids other than water:

Liquids other than water such as oil or vinegar, will never become pure
however large the amount may be even if the substance of najasa is
removed.
If the oil, ghee, or other types of fat is solid, then it does not become pure
by washing or otherwise but one discards the najasa and the fat around it,
and the remainder can be used. If the najasa is mixed with fat, it does not
become pure. Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah “Allah’s blessing
and peace be upon him” said: if a mouse falls into the fat, then if it is solid
throw the mouse away and what surrounds it, but if it is liquid then do no
approach it,”
Solid materials:
Solid material can be purified according to the type of najasa tha has come
into contact with it.
Purifying what has become najis with major najasa:
If something become najis by contact with dogs or swine or their offspring
or by contact with what they leave in a vessel after eating, then this thing
does not become pure except by being washed with water seven times, one
of which must be mixed with earth. It is not sufficient to sprinkle earth on
the place. It is recommended to use earth in the first or second washing.
Neither soap nor any cleaning substance can be used instead of earth for
the above mentioned hadith of Abu Hurayrah about the dregs of a dog. The
purification of one’s vessel if a dog licks up (or eat) from it is to wash it
seven times, the first of which should be with earth. In another narration he
said one of which. It is not obligatory to rub (the vessel) with one’s hand but
it is sufficient to throw the earth in the container of water and stir it
about. If a dog eats from a vessel in which there is solid food, the food
which has come into contact with the dog and its surroundings should be
thrown away and the remainder is pure (taher). The evidence that swine’s
najasa should be definitely washed seven times with earth is what the
majority if Shafi’i scholar
The swine is worse than the dog therefore it is more confirmed that its
najasa should washed seven times.

Purifying what has become najis with minor najasa:

Thoroughly sprinkling the place with water purifies it. Sprinkling should be
done with enough water to wet most of the spot, though it need not flow
over it. Umm Qais bint Mihsan narrated that: “She came to the Messenger
of Allah “Allah’s blessing and peace be upon him” with her son who had fed on
nothing but breast milk. He (the Messenger of Allah) put him on his lap and
the urinated. Ubaidullah said: He did no more than sprinkle water on it. Abu
Al-Samh, the servant of The Messenger of Allah (ABAPBUH) said: The
Messenger of Allah (ABAPBUH) said: The urine of a baby girl needs to be
washed, and the urine of a baby boy needs to be sprinkled on (with water).
In another narration from Ali Ibn Abu Talib “as long as he is only breast-
fed.
Purifying what has become najis with medium najasa:
This is divided into najasa that is visible and najasa that is invisible.
Visible najasa has mass, color, smell, or taste. An object that has become
najis with visible najasa does not become pure except by removing the
substance of the najasa. If the smell or color is difficult to remove, then
the fact that one of these two remains does not affect the object’s purity.
The criterion for allowing that is to wash it three times (with rubbing) and
then the trace of color or smell remains. However, if both remain then the
object is not considered pure, but they are excused if impossible to remove.
Similarly, if it is impossible to remove the taste then purification is not
achieved but it can be excused. In this case, the spot is considered as najis
rather than pure but is excused. The criterion of impossibility is that it is
not possible to remove the najasa except by cutting out the najis part.
Speculative najasa: is that which has no color, taste, smell, or volume such as
urine which has dried out without leaving a discernable characteristic. It is
sufficient to purify the place by running water over it, even without the
intention to do so, like rain water for example.
SUPPLEMENT
After washing a najis spot of an object, we should, when washing the rest of
the object, re-wash the surroundings of the previously washed spot,
otherwise this part will remain najis
