Wudu
« on: Wednesday 03 December 2008, 14:57 »
 

If you are in state of Wudu and you, does something which only affects your hands must you do a full Wudu, to read Quran or Pray?

When I am at work the only par of me exposed to anything is my hands.  So if I want to pray or read Quran must I try to do full Wudu?  I would not be able to wash feet very well at work.

I have been just doing my hands and arms up to elbows and face.  Even this is rough with blow dryers in restroom and now towels. 

Am I all right doing it this way?

try one question at a time bro.

Yes, wudu cannot be without washing feet. If there is no way, then put your boots on after wudu and then pass your wet hand on top of your boots.

there is nothing in particular that can affect your hands, except for  by it comes through the sexual means.
 
However, wudu  is nullified by:
     1.      Anything that exits from the private parts, even if it not customary such as a worm or stones.
2.      The flowing of any ritually impure substance (f: such as blood or pus) from a wound (f: or other opening) to any place that requires cleaning (f: i.e. it flowed beyond its point of exit), or if it came out with enough force to flow (f: but was prevent from flowing because it was wiped or absorbed by a bandage).
3.      Vomit that is a mouthful, such that one would not have been able to keep it in without difficulty, except if it is just phlegm. Vomit that is from the same motion (ghathayan) is considered together when determining whether it is a mouthful or not.
4.      Blood (B: from the mouth or throat) that overcomes one?s saliva or equals it (f: if closer to red, wudu is invalidated; if closer to yellow, it is not).
5.      The sleep of one whose rear is not firmly seated. As for the one whose rear is firmly seated, his ablution is not nullified by sleep, even if leaning against something in a way that if it were removed he would fall.
6.      Loss of consciousness.
7.      Madness.
8.      Drunkedness.
9.      The laughter of an aware adult person a prayer that contains bowing and prostration, even for the one praying by head motions alone. If the laughter occurs after the tashahhud, the ablution is nullified, though not the prayer.
10.  (Direct contact between an erect penis and the vagina of a desirable woman.
 
what I do it wash feet in the sink, but if this is imposible then I would bring a bottle of water and will go outside and wash my feet that way.

At work I wet  my hands and and rub them on my bare feet. Is it OK? I keep a stone for Wuddu without water,if  Wudu is not possible,sometimes. Is it alright?
I never asked anybody about it before. But I have always thought that Allah knows me and ask for His forgiveness.

as long as any part of it doesnt stay dry. sister I feel your compassion. It is always tricky to do prayers at work. I hope you have no difficulty in it.  :) 
 
Allah bless you.

I do not feel that the realm of my work environment is understood here.

I work in a factory there are no paper towels and I am whering land laced up steel toe boots, along with uniform.

I am quite frequently covered in oil, and grease, as I am maintenance man.

However, the only part of me that I feel would break state of Wudu would be my hands from going to the restroom.

The partial Wudu I do perform is in a restroom with people going in and out trying to share two hand dryers.

My prayers at work are up behind a very large furnace that is dusty and dirty, except for spot I have cleaned for prayer.

This seems to be only way to do it since I am in a factory with about 1,000 people who do not understand or at all respect Muslim faith.

I do not hide out of fear of ridicule or persecution but rather how could I do Salaat with everyone making fun of religion and myself.

In fact, if I were in middle of Salaat and my phone where to ring I would have to answer it and go fix machine.  The plant looses thousands of dollars a minute when they are down and I do not think boss would take I was doing a Salaat as acceptable reason for not responding to call.

Therefore, with this kind of environment, should I not do Salat, read Quran at all, or do best Wudu I can, or if some one has, better ideas please help.

All I want to do is the Wright thing. :beat

hello dan
 
I cannot stress how much I take understanding in your issue.  I do have a certain degree of difficulty maintaing prayers at work myself. It is quite tough and pretty stressful.
I work for a supermarket and have frequently 15 min breaks. I need to do salaah and I have nowhere to pray. So what I do is take wudu in the toilets, go outside and find a clothes shop change room. There its clean and all nice and tidy for a prayer. I live in Australia and as i can understand, islam is no ver y uch likeed there either, especially in the biggest retailing national supermarket.
 
But the upmost importance of keeping a prayer is because we know Allah can only help us and take us out of trouble. So whatever reason we come up with difficulties, Allah will make it easy for us, insaAllah
I would love to help you in any way possible , so my suggestion at this stage is dont think about it. When you are praying, you will find ways to solve it. trust me on this one.  And dont stress. Whenever you are comfortable adn ready taking up the prayer, you will find strength.
 btw, can u pray at break times?
Take care.

Dear Farrah

This part of your post attracted my attention, I did not think I  saw an answer to it, so here it is:

for the dry Wudu (Tayamoum) the water has to be missing or scarce or using the water will be harmful or it will prolong an illness or worsen a wound and some other reasons.

But we should not resort to using it if water is available, just because it is hard or inconvenient.

The more we sacrifice for the sake of Allah the greater the reward Insha2Allah.

Salam

We are talking about the situation when 'saying prayers' is little hard or we are not able to perform wudu because of nature of our work or the people we work around with. Sometimes at work one has to finish all work and we are running out of time and we want   to say prayers and we must otherwise we might be get too busy and will be saying our prayers late or even forget.
