47 - Issue: He said: "And profuse vomiting, profuse blood, and profuse worms exiting from wounds."

The general principle regarding this is that what exits from the body other than through the two passages is divided into two types: pure and impure. The pure does not invalidate wudu' under any circumstances, while the impure invalidates wudu' in general, according to a single narration. This has been narrated from Ibn Abbas, Ibn Umar, Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, Alqamah, Ata', Qatadah, al-Thawri, Ishaq, and the People of Opinion (Ashab al-Ra'y). Malik, Rabi'ah, al-Shafi'i, Abu Thawr, and Ibn al-Mundhir did not consider it to necessitate wudu'. Makhul said: "There is no wudu' except for what exits from the qubul (front passage) or dubur (back passage); because it is an exit from other than the established passage while the passage remains, so the invalidation of purity is not attached to it, like saliva. Furthermore, there is no text regarding it, and it is not possible to draw an analogy with the place of the text—which is what exits from the two passages—because the ruling therein is not causative (ghayr mu'allal). Also, there is no difference in the situation between a little of it and a lot, or between it being pure or impure; whereas here, it is the opposite, so analogy is precluded."

Our evidence is what Abu al-Darda' narrated: That the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) vomited, [so he performed wudu'. I then met Thawban in the mosque of Damascus and mentioned that to him. Thawban said]: "He spoke the truth; I poured the water for his wudu'." Narrated by al-Athram and al-Tirmidhi, who said: "This is the most authentic thing in this chapter." It was said to Ahmad: "Is the hadith of Thawban confirmed according to you?" He said: "Yes." Al-Khallal narrated with his chain of authority from Ibn Jurayj, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "If one of you qalas (4) (regurgitates), let him perform wudu'." Ibn Jurayj said: "Ibn Abi Mulaykah narrated to me from Aisha, from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), the same." Moreover, it is the opinion of those we have named from the Companions, and we do not know of any dissenter among them in their era.
