[TN:] Shaykh ʿĀmir Bahjat said, “So it is not valid to make wuḍū with
water which is forbidden, such as that which is stolen, usurped or
designated for drinking.” (Bidāyat Al-Dayyin bi-Sharḥ An-Nadhim Al-
Bayyin, p.5)

11. It is nullified by [1.] anything excreted
from the bodily passages,
Like [it is nullified] by [2.] a large
amount of najāsah (physical
impurity), not a small amount.4
2
[TN:] Shaykh ʿĀmir Bahjat said, “And the difference between wājib
and farḍ is that farḍ is not dropped by forgetfulness, whilst wājib is
dropped by forgetfulness in this case, and both are obligatory.”
(Bidāyat Al-Dayyin bi-Sharḥ An-Nadhim Al-Bayyin, p.7)
3
[TN:] Shaykh ʿĀmir Bahjat said, “And it is the statement: ِ بِس ِْم ٱ ٰ ﱠ.” (ibid,
p.8)
4
[TN:] Shaykh ʿĀmir Bahjat said, “Like how Wuḍū is nullified by a
large amount of najāsah exiting the body from other than the two
bodily passages, not a small amount, so it is not nullified except if it 6
is urine or faeces.” (Bidāyat Al-Dayyin bi-Sharḥ An-Nadhim Al-Bayyin
p.7). Examples of najāsah exiting the body include vomit, pus or
blood. (See Ḥāshiyah Akhṣar Al-Mukhtaṣarāt, p.79).

“ʿIkrimah narrated on the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās, ‘Meaning the One
all of the creation turns towards for their needs and matters.’”

[TN:] Shaykh Al-Quʿaymī said, “And what is intended by nisāb: The
amount of wealth which obligates the payment of zakāh on it once
attained.” (Al-Ḥawāshī As-Sābiġāt, p.196)
27
[TN:] An example of incomplete possession is waqf which is
designated to other than an individual, such as waqf designated for
the poor. Zakāh is not obligatory in such a case due to missing the
condition of complete possession. (See Bidāyat Al-Dayyin bi-Sharḥ
An-Nadhim Al-Bayyin, p.20)
28
[TN:] That which comes out of the earth consists of 1. Seeds and
fruits, 2. Precious metals, 3. Honey, 4. Buried treasure. (ibid, p.21) 15
29
[TN:] i.e., the offspring of freely grazing animals. The date on which
zakāh is due on the offspring is the same as the aṣl (i.e., the group of
animals from which the offspring originates from), provided that the
aṣl has reached the nisāb. (ibid.)

Bidāyat Al-Dayyin bi-Sharḥ An-Nadhim Al-Bayyin, p.23)
34
[TN:] Suspending a transaction upon a future condition invalidates
the contract, such as if the seller says, “I will sell you this upon the
arrival of Ramaḍān”, because the principle ruling in contracts is tanjīz 19

[TN:] Shaykh ʿUthmān bin Jāmiʿ said, “Due to the Hadith [narrated]
by Muslim on the authority of Abū Hurayrah, attributed to the
Prophet ﷺthat he prohibited the ġharar sale. Al-Qāḍī and a group [of
scholars] explained it as: That which wavers between two
possibilities, and neither are more apparent than the other.” (Al-
Fawāʾid Al-Muntakhabāt, 2/662). The ġharar sale has various forms
such as the sale of fish while in water, or milk while in the udder, or a 20
baby animal whilst in the womb of its mother; These sales are
prohibited due to ġharar within them.
