Chapter 5 · Bathing (Ghusl)
Sahih

غَسْلِ مَا يُصِيبُ مِنْ فَرْجِ الْمَرْأَةِ

Washing what comes into contact with the woman's private parts

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَامَعَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَلَمْ يُنْزِلْ قَالَ " يَغْسِلُ مَا مَسَّ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَيُصَلِّي ".

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ،

Translation

Ubayy ibn Ka'b reported that he said, “O Messenger of Allah, if a man has intercourse with a woman and does not ejaculate?” He said, “He washes whatever of him has touched the woman, then performs ablution (wudu) and prays.”

Translator’s note: According to most scholars this ruling was later abrogated, so that the ritual bath (ghusl) is obligatory even without ejaculation.

Deutsch

Ubai ibn Ka'b berichtete, dass er sagte: „O Gesandter Allahs, wenn der Mann mit der Frau Geschlechtsverkehr hat und keinen Samenerguss hat?“ Er sagte: „Er wäscht das an sich, was die Frau berührt hat, dann vollzieht er die Gebetswaschung und betet.“

Translator’s note: Nach Ansicht der meisten Gelehrten wurde diese Regelung später aufgehoben; danach ist die Ganzkörperwaschung auch ohne Samenerguss Pflicht.

Türkçe

Übey b. Kâ'b (r.a.), “Ey Allah'ın Resûlü! Bir adam kadınla birleşir de inzal olmazsa?” dediğini, onun da: “Kendisinden kadına değen yeri yıkar, sonra abdest alır ve namaz kılar” buyurduğunu rivayet etti.

Translator’s note: Âlimlerin çoğuna göre bu hüküm daha sonra neshedilmiştir; buna göre inzal olmasa da gusül gerekir.

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْغَسْلُ أَحْوَطُ، وَذَاكَ الآخِرُ، وَإِنَّمَا بَيَّنَّا لاِخْتِلاَفِهِمْ.
