INTRODUCTION TO NAJASAAT

CLASS 5 - LESSON 10
INTRODUCTION TO NAJASAAT
Najasaat means those things which are considered unclean by Shariat.
Najasaat are unclean by themselves and make other things unclean by contact. A
thing becomes Najis (unclean) by coming into contact with another Najis thing, but
only if either one or both the things are wet or moist.
Thus a dry Najasaat does not make another dry thing Najis.
The following things are Najis
Urine
Stool
Blood
Dead body
Dog
Pig
Kafir
Liquor
Fuqqa (mild
beer)
Semen

Toilet Etiquette
1. When entering the toilet one should enter with the left foot first.
2. It is Haraam to face the Qibla, or to have your back to Qibla, when sitting on
the toilet. (If your toilet faces Qibla, then sit slightly sideways on
it).
3. After urinating, the part of the body concerned must be
washed twice (better thrice) with water.
4. It is Makruh to urinate whilst standing. There are severe
punishments after death due to this act.
5. After relieving the bowels, the part of the body concerned may be
cleaned with water, or with a cloth, or paper; provided the cloth or
paper itself is Tahir (clean) and dry.
6. It is Wajib to use three separate pieces, even if the body
becomes clean before that. If after using three pieces, the body
is still not clean, extra pieces should be used until it becomes
clean.
