Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

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

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Assalamu Alaikum,

I have to ask a question about babies. I have been told that a baby boy`s urine is not considered najas as long as he drinks only the mother`s milk. What if we give the baby water? Doctors say that there is no need to give the baby water in the first six months. But what if the baby is thirsty and the woman is in some place where she is unable to feed the baby?  

May Allah bless us all

Answer:

 

Baby urine impure

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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Umm Qais came to the Messenger of Allah (saws) with her unweaned son. After a while, the baby urinated in the Prophet's (saws) lap. The Prophet (saws) called for some water, which he sprinkled over his clothes, and did not give them a complete washing.

Related by Bukhari and Muslim.

 

If a baby’s vomit or stools or urine do touch a parent or a person, it does not effect the validity of their wudu or state of purity.  The person should simply wash the part of the clothes or body where these impurities might have touched, and make himself available for prayer.

 

The scholars in Islam are of the opinion that the sprinkling of pure water is sufficient as long as the infant is still nursing.  If the infant eats solid food, its urine must be washed from the parts of the clothes and/or body where the impurities might have touched; but in all cases the wudu of the person who is touched by the baby’s impurities does not break nor become invalid.

 

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 and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
