As for the blood clot, there is likewise no need to make an exception for it, because while it remains in its place—the womb—it is not judged to be impure, even though it would be impure if it were discharged.

For this reason, a person’s urine and excrement are pure while inside the body, but once discharged they become impure. Likewise, if a worshipper carries a person while praying, his prayer is valid, as evidenced by the fact that the Prophet ﷺ carried Umamah, the daughter of his daughter Zaynab, while he was praying (1). But if a worshipper carries a container holding urine or excrement, his prayer is invalid.

Except for wine

His statement, “Except for wine”: wine is a name for every intoxicant. This is how the Prophet ﷺ defined it (2).

It is astonishing that some have said that wine can only be made from grape wine, when the most eloquent and most knowledgeable of the Arabs said: “Every intoxicant is wine, and every intoxicant is forbidden” (801). Yet, had this been found, for example, in al-Qāmūs al-Muḥīṭ, whose author was Persian, they would have accepted it.

وأما بالنسبة للعَلَقة فلا حاجة لاستثنائها؛ لأنها وهي في معدنها الذي هو الرَّحم لا يُحكم بنجاستها، وإِن كانت نجسة لو خرجت. ولذلك كان بول الإِنسان وعَذِرَتُه في بطنه طاهرين، وإِذا خرجا صارا نجسَين، ولأن المصلِّي لو حمل شخصاً في صلاته لَصحَّت صلاته؛ بدليل أنّ النبيَّ ﷺ حَمَلَ أُمامة بنت ابنته زينب، وهو يُصلِّي (١)، ولو حمل المُصلِّي قارورة فيها بول أو غائط لَبَطلت صلاتُه. غَيْرَ الخَمْرَةِ ............................................. قوله: «غَيْرَ الخَمْرَة»، الخَمْرُ: اسم لكل مُسكِر. هكذا فسَّره النبيُّ ﷺ (٢). والعجبُ ممن قال: إِنَّ الخمر لا يكون إِلا من نبيذ العنب، وقد قال أفصح العرب وأعلمهم: «كلُّ مسكرٍ خَمْر، وكلُّ مُسْكرٍ حرام» (٨٠١)، مع أنَّه لو وُجِدَ ذلك في «القاموس المحيط» مثلاً ومؤلِّفه فارسيٌّ لسُلِّمَ به. والخمر حرام بالكتاب، والسُّنَّة، وإِجماع المسلمين. ولهذا قال العلماء: مَن أنكر تحريمه وهو ممن لا يجهل ذلك كَفَرَ،
