Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 96 Al-'Alaqq. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(9) أَرَءَيْتَ اُلَّذِى يَنْهَى = "A Ro-ai Tal-La-dzi~ Yan-Ha~" = "A" = Do, "Ro-ai" = see, "Ta" = you, "al-La-dzi~" = he who, "Yan-ha~" = forbid, obstruct.
 "A Ro-ai Tal-La-dzi~ Yan-ha~" = Do you not see the person/Abu Jahal who obstruct
(10) عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى = " 'Abb-dan I-dza~ SHol-la~". " 'Abb-dan" = A bondservant, "I-dza~" = when, "SHol-la~" = he performs solat.
" 'Abb-dan I-dza~ SHol-la~". = A bondservant/Muhammad s.a.w. when he was performing solat? (While the Prophet s.a.w. was performing solat before the Caaba, Abu Jahal and his clique went to him s.a.w. with a camel belly and put it onto the Prophet s.a.w. when he was in sujud/prostrate position. No one dared to come forward and help the Prophet s.a.w. who was being piled with the camel belly. The news soon reached Fatimah Az-Zahraa r.a. who went rushing to her father. She lifted the camel belly and threw it aside. Then cleansed her father's head and body of the soiling. Abu Jahal and his clique dared not stop Fatimah r.a. from helping her father because it was/is known widely that all the children of Abdul Muttalib were/are very strong physically and could/can fight very well, he/Abu Jahal and his clique left the scene hurriedly.).
(11) (to be continued).

Let us now continue to look into the Basic Islamic Rules:
 (2) Solat: Istinjaa/cleansing defilement with other than water:
    Asy-Syafiei said, "When a person uses stones (to cleanse his/her private parts after easing himself), he must use three stones or (if the stone is not small) wipe 3 times (with its 3 clean sides). If he Istinjaa for his front and backside, he must use six stones, 3 for his front part and another 3 for his backside. But he may use with one (big) stone. If the stone does not quite clean the part/parts, he may use more stones but their numbers must be in odd numbers, such as: 5, 7 and so forth, until the backside is clean.
 The Syafiei Ulama set these 2 conditions when using Istinjaa:
  (i) The "Ain"/mass of defilement should be cleansed except, those which could only be cleansed by water, and it is excusable. (ii) The defilement must be wiped at the least 3 times.
 An-Nawawi said, "Asy-Syafiei had stressed in his book, Al-Umm, that the backside of a person (after passing motion) must/wajib be wiped until the Ain of the defilement is totally removed, except those which could only be removed by water.
 An-Nawawi also said that all Syafiei Ulama were/are of the opinion that we can cleanse defilement with things similar to stone, be it wood, earthenware, brick, (and tissue papers) and so forth (but not of food, e.g. bread, fruit and so forth).

The above mentioned opinion is also being consent by all Ulama and by other schools of Fiqh.
(c) Istinjaa with dung or bones: (to be continued).
Until we meet again. Tomorrow is Friday, and we are taking a day off. See you all Quran Lovers on Saturday.
