YOGYAKARTA - Wudhu is one of the legal requirements for prayer in the teachings of Islam. Wudhu is a way of holifying that a Muslim performs before praying, touching the Qur'an, and various other worships. In addition, there are things that cancel the ablution that are important to understand every Muslim.
The wudhu process is not only washing certain body parts, but also a symbol of outer and outer cleansing before facing Allah SWT. In the Qur'an, the letter Al-Ma'idah verse 6, Allah orders believers to pray before prayer. This verse confirms the importance of maintaining purification when performing worship.
However, after doing ablution, there are several things that can cancel it, so someone must repeat their ablution before returning to worship. Therefore, it is important for every Muslim to know things that can cancel the ablution so that the worship carried out remains valid.
Here are some things that can cancel the ablution that must be known by every Muslim:
The first thing that cancels the ablution is the release of something from the qubul (front shame) or rectum (anus), either in the form of urine, urine, wind (ketut), blood, or other fluids. This is the most common Wadhu thickener and has been agreed upon by the majority of scholars.
In the hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu anhu, Rasulullah SAW said: "There will not be accepted the prayers of any of you if he violates until he returns." (HR. Bukhari and Muslim)
Sleep can cancel ablution if a person sleeps in a position that does not protect his body from the possibility of getting out of the wind or being unclean, such as sleeping on the back or on the side.
However, if someone sleeps sitting on their buttocks and doesn't shift, some scholars allow that their sleep does not cancel ablution. Sleep makes a person's consciousness disappear so that he doesn't know if he farts or not, then caution in this matter becomes very important.
When a person loses his mind, either because he is drunk, crazy, unconscious, or other medical causes, his ablution is canceled. This is because this condition makes the person not aware of what happened to his body, including the possibility of hadadas exit.
According to most scholars, touching the genitals directly using the palms of the hands or fingers without a barrier such as cloth or gloves can cancel the ablution. This is based on the hadith of the Prophet SAW: Whoever touches his genitals, then he should have ablution. (HR Abu Dawud, Tirmidzi, and others)
However, some scholars argue that this does not cancel the ablution unless accompanied by lust. Due to this difference of opinion, some people prefer to be careful by updating the ablution after touching the genitals.
In the Syafi'i mazhab, contact between men and women who are not mahram and without a barrier cancel the ablution, even without lust. Meanwhile, other schools such as Hanafi and Maliki argue that contact does not cancel the ablution unless accompanied by lust.
Because of this difference, Muslims should follow the opinions they adhere to and remain careful in order to maintain the validity of the ablution.
According to some scholars, the release of large amounts of blood or pus from the body can cancel the ablution. Especially if the liquid flows out and not only in the form of small wounds.
Mazhab Hanafi, for example, stated that the output of running blood could cancel the ablution. Meanwhile, Syafi'i's mazhab tends not to consider it a Wadhu thickener unless blood comes out of the rectum or qubul.
According to some scholars, if someone istilized or leaves Islam, then all of his worship deeds will be canceled, including his ablution. If he embraces Islam again, then he must repeat the ablution before praying and others.
Those are some things that cancel ablution according to Islam. Understanding what cancels ablution is very important for every Muslim to keep their worship valid and accepted by Allah SWT. Also read the explanation of whether drinking cancels ablution.
