Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2405 — Etiquette of eating
اُردوEn
وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَتَى الْغَائِطَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ فَقِيلَ لَهُ : أَلَا تَتَوَضَّأُ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّمَا أَسْتَطِيبُ بِشِمَالِي وَآكُلُ بِيَمِينِي " .
Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) went to relieve himself. When he came out after finishing, food was presented to him, and someone said to him: "Will you not perform ablution (before eating)?" He replied: "I purify myself (by istinja) with my left hand and I eat with my right hand."
The chain of this report is sahih (authentic), and Imam al-Humaydi narrated it in his Musnad. From it the juristic point becomes clear that after relieving oneself, performing the ritual ablution merely for the sake of eating is not obligatory; rather, cleanliness of the hands is sufficient.
