Mu'meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

As salaam alaikum Wa rahmatullah Wa barakatu,

This is my second attempt in asking you some questions. I know and understand that volume of questions as very high and as such you are not able to answer my previous question.

I have many questions and Iam asking all of them here.

(1). What is the significance of a child born with natural circumcision?
(2). Till date how many dajjals have appeared since and after Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), As Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) had told Sahabas that 30 dajjals would appear (including Antichrist).
(3). Since wuzu breaks if hand touches private parts, then pls advice that during ghusl when wuzu has been made, then what to do when one has to rub the whole body after pouring water on head, and the two shoulders, as surely one would touch the private parts during rubbing the body.

I would be highly obliged if all my queries are answered. You may take your time.

May Allah bestow is choicest blessings on you here and hereafter. Ameen

Answer:

Wudu, Dajjal and natural circumsicion

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Q-1: What is the significance of a child born with natural circumcision?
There is absolutely no significance in Islam if a child is born with natural cicumcision.

Q-2: Till date how many dajjals have appeared since and after Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), As Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) had told Sahabas that 30 dajjals would appear (including Antichrist).
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4319 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

The Prophet (saws) said: “The Last Hour will not come before there comes forth thirty Dajjals (Liars), each claiming himself to be the Messenger of Allah.”

There have indeed been several of these Liars who have claimed to be the Prophets or Messengers of Allah since and after the death of the Last and Final Prophet of Allah, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws). Allah Alone knows the exact number of these Liars that have appeared. It suffices for the believers, who truly believe in Allah and the Last Day, to believe every word of the Messenger of Allah (saws) that the Last Hour will not come until thirty of these Liars appear.

Q-3: Since wuzu breaks if hand touches private parts, then pls advice that during ghusl when wuzu has been made, then what to do when one has to rub the whole body after pouring water on head, and the two shoulders, as surely one would touch the private parts during rubbing the body.
There are two hadiths on the subject, “if touching the private organs invalidates one wudu or ablution or not,” and both are considered authentic by the scholars of Islam.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 181 Narrated by Busrah, daughter of Safwan

Marwan said: ‘Busrah, the daughter of Safwan reported to me that she heard the Messenger of Allah (saws) say: “He who touches his penis should perform ablution.”’

A man asked the Prophet if a man who touches his penis has to perform ablution. Said the Prophet (saws), "No, it is just a part of you."

Related by Bukhari and Muslim.

The majority of the scholars in Islam are of the opinion that if one touches one’s private organs unintentionally and without any sexual inclination, it would not invalidate one’s wudu or ablution; but if one touches one’s private organs with sexual inclination, it would indeed invalidate his wudu.

But while doing ghusl or taking a full bath, it is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws) to wash one’s private organs first, then do the wudu and then pour the water over the full body making sure no part remains dry. Thus the washing of ones’s private parts would not invalidate one wudu in the least during ghusl.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
