Abstract

One of the essential aspects of worship, such as daily prayers, is achieving and maintaining purity (taharah). This issue poses a challenge for individuals who suffer from involuntary urinary or fecal incontinence. Some jurists believe that if impurity (hadath) occurs two or three times during prayer, it is obligatory to renew the state of purity during the prayer. Their solution suggests keeping a container of water close to the worshipper, so they can perform ablution (wudu) promptly after involuntary discharge. This research employs a descriptive-analytical methodology, utilizing documentary sources to revisit the arguments supporting this ruling. After categorizing these arguments, the ensuing debates and challenges related to these reasons are elucidated. The result indicates that the ruling lacks solidity based on three factors: the insufficiency of explicit textual evidence supporting the ruling, the existence of conflicting narrations on the subject, and the presence of evidence suggesting the sufficiency of the initial ablution for individuals with partial impurity. It appears that the ruling favoring the adequacy of the initial ablution for these individuals is more plausible.
