Enyi mlio amini! Msikaribie Sala, hali mmelewa, mpaka myajue mnayo yasema, wala hali mna janaba - isipo kuwa mmo safarini - mpaka mkoge. Na mkiwa wagonjwa, au mmo safarini, au mmoja wenu ametoka chooni, au mmewagusa wanawake - na msipate maji, basi ukusudieni mchanga safi, mpake nyuso zenu na mikono yenu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Msamehevu na Mwenye kughufiria. 1
Maelezo
Each of these readings can be interpreted in two main ways, though the first (verb form III) is more explicit in denoting mutuality, and more evidently refers to intercourse between husband and wife. Some jurists take this verse to entail that any physical contact with the opposite sex (some of them stipulate that it be of an intimate kind), necessitates renewal of ritual purity before prayer. Others consider this to refer to intercourse which necessitates a full bath under normal circumstances. This part of the verse provides the ruling for when water is not available for purification.
