381 - Mahmud narrated to us, saying: Al-Walid narrated to us, saying: Abu 'Amr al-Awza'i was asked about a group of people who woke up without wudu, and they had only enough water for one wudu. He said: "They should contend for it." It was said to Abu 'Amr: What if one of them reaches it before the others to be more entitled to it? He said: "No, and it is more beloved to me that they prioritize their Imam with it."

It was said to Abu 'Amr: What about a woman who became pure from her menses, and her husband woke up in a state of janaba (major ritual impurity), and they have only enough water between them for one ghusl (full body wash)? He said: "The menstruating woman (who has become pure) is more entitled to it if the water is shared between them. But if it belongs to the person in janaba, he should not give it to the woman."

It was said to Abu 'Amr: [Regarding a conflict between a janaba bath and washing the dead] (1). He said: "The ghusl for janaba is an obligation (faridah), and washing the deceased is a sunnah; therefore, the one in janaba is more entitled to it."

Chapter: He who performs tayammum and is afflicted by urine or impurity

• I heard Ishaq say: "If you have performed tayammum and urine, foul odor, or something else touches you in the place of tayammum, then wipe the place that was afflicted with dust; perform tayammum with it." He said: "And if you performed tayammum and urine or a foul odor touched your body in a place other than the place of tayammum, then wipe it with a rag or something similar. If you wipe the dust over it, there is no harm in that; for although the dust itself does not purify filth, it has been appointed as a substitute for water to purify the areas that God has mandated to be purified. Thus, the ruling of dust in a state of necessity is no worse than your wiping it with a rag or something similar. He who says 'Do not wipe with dust, but wipe with a rag' is mistaken."
