Does a person have to perform wudoo after doing Ghusl?

قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية -رحمه الله- :
وأحمد كان أعلم من غيره في الكتاب والسنة وأقوال الصحابة والتابعين لهم بإحسان ولهذا لا يكاد يوجد له قول يخالف نصاً كما يوجد لغيره ولا يوجد له قول ضعيف في الغالب إلا وفي مذهبه قول يوافق القول القوي وأكثر مفاريده التي لم يختلف فيها مذهبه يكون قوله فيها راجحاً.

Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

"Ahmad was more knowledgeable than others in the Qur'an, the Sunnah and the statements of the Companions and Tabi'een. For this reason, there is rarely a statement from Imam Ahmad that contradicts a clear text from the Qur'an or Sunnah, unlike others. Generally, you will not come across a weak opinion held by Imam Ahmad except that there is an opinion within his school that aligns with the stronger opinion. In addition to this; most of his unique views, in which there is no disagreement in his school, are considered to be stronger."

[How to perform Ghusl/Wudoo if a person has a wound]

There are two possible scenarios that may arise in this issue.

First Scenario: the wound is covered

If the wound is covered by a bandage, plaster or cast; it is sufficient for the person to simply wipe over the bandage. Wiping is valid for both Ghusl and Wudoo.

Second scenario: the wound is uncovered

If the wound is not covered by any barrier, a person must either;

1. Wash the wound if possible.

2. If it is not possible to wash the wound, it becomes obligatory to wipe over the wound.

3. If wiping and washing are not possible, it becomes obligatory to perform Tayammum.

[Ruling on shaking hands with the non-mahram women]

The ruling of shaking hands with non-mahram women is divided into two categories:

1. Shaking hands with young women: It is not permissible for a man to shake hands with young, non-mahram women because it can arouse sexual desire. This is supported by the hadith of Maqal ibn Yasaar, where the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "It is better for a man to have his head pierced with an iron needle than to touch a woman who is not lawful for him" [reported by al-Tabrani in al-Kabeer 212/20, authenticated by al-Albani]. Additionally, it is a greater sin than just looking.

2. Shaking hands with elderly women: A man may shake hands with elderly women since there is no prohibition (temptation). This is the understood opinion of Al-Iqnā and Al-Ghaayah.

However , the preferred view of Sheikh al-Islam is that it is forbidden, based on the general principle from the hadith of M'aqal mentioned earlier. Imam Ahmad was asked about a man shaking hands with a woman, and he strongly opposed it. This is the second riwayah of Imam Ahmad in this ruling.

[Level of sleep that invalidates a person's Wudoo]

🟢Heavy sleep will nullify a person's Wudoo.

🟢Light sleep does not nullify a person's Wudoo so long as the following conditions are met:

1. The sleep must be light and not heavy.

2. The person must be standing or sitting without leaning on anything.


🟢The definition of light and heavy sleep goes back to the custom ('Urf). Whatever in the 'Urf is considered heavy sleep will invalidate the Wudoo and whatever is considered light does not invalidate the Wudoo.

🟢 The scholars mentioned some examples of heavy sleep :

- Seeing a dream. It has been directly narrated from Imam Ahmad.

- Being able to hear the sound of people talking around you but not comprehend it, is considered to be a light sleep. If a person cannot hear anything it is considered to be a heavy sleep.

- A person falling from his position. If a sitting or standing person falls down, this type of sleep is heavy.

🟢 The exemption of light sleep is only for the person standing or sitting down. If a person is laying down or leaning on a wall, their Wudoo will be invalid irrespective of the type of sleep experienced.

[Some rulings pertaining to congregational prayer in the Hanbali madhab]

1) Congregational prayer is obligatory for men for the five daily prayers. It is not a condition for the validity of salah.

2) This obligation can be attained anywhere. So, the person who prays at home or at work in congregation has fulfilled this obligation.

In a gathering in which 'Ali b. Al-Madini Imam Ahmad and other scholars were present, the Adhan for the dhuhr prayer was called out. 'Ali b. Al-Madini said: _'Shall we go to the masjid or pray here?'_

Imam Ahmad replied: _'We are a congregation, so let's pray here'_ and so they prayed. [al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil of Ibn Abi al-Hatim]

3) Congregational prayer is valid with two people (Imam and another person). The second person can be a woman.

4) Congregational prayer is not valid if the Imam leads only a child (one who hasn't reached puberty) in an obligatory prayer.

[Important rulings regarding the sunan rawatib prayers]

1. The sunnah rawatib prayers are 10 units according to the madhab:

- 2 before Fajr
- 2 before Zuhur
- 2 after Zuhur
- 2 after Maghreb 
- 2 after Isha.

2. The sunnah rawatib prayers are an emphasised sunnah and therefore abandoning it is disliked.

3. According to the madhab an individual who entirely neglects the sunnah rawaatib prayers is deemed lacking in uprightness, and consequently, their testimony is rejected.

4. The most virtuous of them is the sunnah of Fajr ; followed by the sunnah of Maghreb and then the rest are equal in virtue.

5. It is sunnah to perform the Fajr sunnah prayers swiftly and then to lie down on one's side afterwards.

6. It is better for a person to offer 12 units of prayer because of the hadith:  Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “There is no Muslim slave who prays twelve rak‘ahs to Allah each day, voluntarily, apart from the obligatory prayers, but Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” - Muslim

7. There is no sunnah raatibah before the jumuah prayer, instead it is recommended to pray 4 units of nafl prayer before the khutbah as reported in Al-Iqnaa'.

8. The sunnah raatibah is only after the Jumuah prayer and a person can offer either 2, 4 or 6 units of prayer.

9. The traveler has the choice to either observe the Sunnah Rawaatib prayers or forgo them entirely, as they will still receive the reward for every sunnah prayer they performed before while travelling.

10. An exception to the above rule is : the sunnah of fajr and the witr prayer. The traveler should always perform them during his travels due to their importance.

11. The employee (worker) is allowed to pray the obligatory prayers along with the sunnah raatibah and the employer is not allowed to prevent them from doing so.

12. It is recommended to make up for missed Sunnah Rawaatib prayers if one was unable to perform them at their designated times.

[ Marriage contract]

The marriage contract consists of two parts:

1. The offer

and

2. The acceptance


[The marriage contract must fulfill the following conditions:]

1⃣The offer must include the word زوجت (I have married you off to...) or أنكحت (I have performed the wedding contract for...).

The acceptance should include the following phrases: قبلت ( I accept) or رضيت (I am pleased) or تزوجت (I have married her).

2⃣ The offer and acceptance must both be conducted in the arabic language if possible. Otherwise any other language is sufficient.

3⃣The offer and acceptance must be conducted in order. Therefore the offer must always be before the acceptance. If the offer is said after the acceptance , the contract will be invalid.

4⃣ The offer and acceptance must be given verbally. If the offer and acceptance are given through writing or sign language, the contract will be invalid. Exception is given to the deaf or mute.

5⃣ Once the offer is made, the groom can delay the response but he can not separate from the guardian. Therefore there must be continuity in the marriage contract between the offer and acceptance.
