Al-Thamar al-MustatabNasir al-Din al-Albani

“There is no harm in it.”
It has two chains of transmission, both of which we have set out in al-Taʿlīq al-Raghīb.
The second ḥadith is authentic, agreed upon, and has already been cited.
In this chapter there are also further ḥadiths on istinjāʾ (washing the private parts after relieving oneself).

It may be said that the first ḥadith applies specifically to urine and the second to women’s blood. Yet it is obvious that drawing an analogy to all other impurities is valid, for they share the same underlying cause—namely, impurity itself. Accordingly, one must keep clear of every impurity and wash it off whenever it touches the body.

Al-Khaṭṭābī said—as related in Fatḥ al-Bārī—“All impurities stand on the same footing as blood; there is, by unanimous agreement, no distinction between them.”

2 – For this reason one must also cleanse one’s clothes of every impurity, for Allah says, “And purify your garments” (Q 74:4).
That is, wash them with water.

Ibn Zayd remarked, “The polytheists did not purify themselves, so Allah commanded him to purify himself and to cleanse his garments.”

Other interpretations of the verse have been mentioned by Ibn Kathīr and others, yet the view just cited is the clearest. It is the opinion preferred by al-Nawawī in al-Majmūʿ, following al-Bayhaqī, and it was likewise adopted by Ibn Jarīr and by Ibn Ḥazm in al-Muḥallā, who said:

(لا بأس به) وله طريقان ذكرناهما في (التعليق الرغيب) والحديث الثاني صحيح متفق عليه وقد مضى وفي الباب أحاديث الاستنجاء وقد يقال: إن الحديث الأول خاص بالبول والثاني بدماء النساء. ولا يخفى أن قياس النجاسات الأخرى عليهما قياس صحيح بجامع اشتراكها في علة النجاسة فيجب التنزه من كل نجاسة وغسلها إذا أصابت البدن. وقد قال الخطابي: (إن جميع النجاسات بمثابة الدم لا فرق بينه وبينها إجماعا) كما نقله في (الفتح) (٢ - ولذلك يجب تطهير الثياب من كل نجاسة لقوله تعالى: ﴿وثيابك فطهر﴾ [المدثر / ٤]) أي: اغسلها بالماء. قال ابن زيد: (كان المشركون لا يتطهرون فأمره الله أن يتطهر وأن يطهر ثيابه) وفي الآية أقوال أخرى أوردها ابن كثير وغيره والقول المذكور هو الأظهر وهو الذي رجحه النووي في (المجموع) تبعا للبيهقي واختاره ابن جرير وكذا ابن حزم في (المحلى) وقال:
