Minhaj as-SunnahIbn Taimiya

“‘O Amr, did you lead (1) your companions in prayer while in a state of major ritual impurity?’ He replied, ‘I heard Allah say: “And do not kill yourselves” [Surah al-Nisā': 29].’ The Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—approved what he had done and did not censure him after Amr explained his justification.” (2).

The jurists disagreed as to whether his words, “Did you lead your companions in prayer while in a state of major ritual impurity?” were interrogative—that is, “Did you pray while still in that state?”—so that, when Amr informed him that he had purified himself by dry ablution and was no longer in a state of major ritual impurity, he approved of him; or whether they were a declarative statement that he was in a state of major ritual impurity, while dry ablution permits prayer and removed (3) the state of major ritual impurity. There are two views on this, and the first is more evident.

The Rāfidī (4) said: “He killed Mālik and his son from among Banū al-Mustaliq and took many captives, including Juwayriya bint al-Hārith ibn Abī Dirār. The Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—selected her for himself, and her father came to her (5) on that

(1) (M), (S), and (B): “you prayed.” (2) The hadith—with variations in wording—is reported from Amr ibn al-Ās—may Allah be pleased with him—in *Sunan Abī Dāwūd*, 1/141 (Book of Purification, chapter “If a Person in a State of Major Ritual Impurity Fears the Cold, May He Perform Dry Ablution?”); *al-Musnad* (al-Halabī ed.), 4/203–204; and al-Hākim’s *al-Mustadrak*, 1/177. Al-Hākim said, “It is authentic according to the criteria of al-Bukhārī and Muslim,” and al-Dhahabī agreed. Al-Albānī graded the hadith authentic in *Irwā al-Ghalīl*, 1/181–183, but corrected al-Hākim and al-Dhahabī, stating that it meets only Muslim’s criteria. (3) (N), (S), and (B): “and does not remove [the state of major ritual impurity].” (4) In (K), p. 185 (M). (5) (K): “then he came.”
