CLEANSING THE PRIVATE PARTS AFTER GOING TO THE TOILET

Kitab al Athar - Chapter on CLEANSING THE PRIVATE PARTS AFTER GOING TO THE TOILET


38. Muhammad said, "Abu Hanifa informed us saying, Hammaad narrated to us from Ibrahim that those who associate partners with Allah at the time of the Messenger of Allah (salallahu 'alahyi wa sallam) met the Muslims and said, "We see that your companion (Meaning the Messenger of Allah, salallahu 'alahyi wa sallam) teaches you how you should go to the toilet," making fun of them. So the Muslims said, "Yes." They [The Mushrikun] asked them [about that] and they [the Companions] said, "He told us not to face the Qiblah with our private parts, not to cleanse our private parts with our right hands, and not to cleanse our private parts with bones or dung, and that we should cleanse oursleves with three stones.""

Muhammad said, "We adhere to this, but washing with water in the act of cleansing the private parts is preferable to us, and that is the verdict of Abu Hanifa."
