Does Food in Mouth Break Wudu?
Hi all readers! Are you looking for an explanation of “does food in mouth break wudu?”? If your answer is “Yes”, congratulations! Now you are reading the right article. Why? Because that is what I will explain in this article. As Muslims, we must understand that. That's why I wrote this article. So, you should read it to the end!
Specifically, there are three important things about “does food in mouth break wudu?” which I will explain in this article. The three important things I mean are as follows:
Why Should We Understand Things That Break Wudu?
The first important thing about “does food in mouth break wudu?” what I will explain now is "why should we understand things that break wudu?". I want you to understand that first before you read more explanations in this article so that you understand the urgency of this discussion and the importance of wudu.
In Islam, wudu is one way to remove small hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ). The other way is Tayammum. Wudu is the most important way of Tayammum. In other words, if we cannot perform wudu to remove small hadas, we must perform Tayammum.
In Islam, small hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ) is one of the conditions that prevent Muslims from performing certain acts of worship that require them to be in a holy condition while doing it, such as praying, performing Tawaf, touching the Quran, and so on. The other condition is big hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَكْبَرُ). Small hadas can be removed by wudu and Tayammum. While big hadas can only be removed with ghusl Janabah.
The first point is that there are certain types of worship in Islam that require Muslims to be in a state of purity while performing them. In other words, they should not do it all if they have a small hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ) or a big hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَكْبَرُ).
The second point is that the things that cause a person to have small hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ) and big hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَكْبَرُ) are things that break wudu.
So, if you ask me, "why should we understand things that break wudu?", the answer is so that we understand the things that cause us to have small hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَصْغَرُ) and big hadas (الحَدَثُ الأَكْبَرُ) and eliminate them all so that we are in a holy condition and may perform worship that requires us to have wudu or in a holy condition while doing it all.
That's a brief explanation of "why should we understand things that break wudu?". As Muslims, we must understand that.
Five Things That Break Our Wudu
The second important thing about “does food in mouth break wudu?” what I will explain now is five things that break our wudu. I want you to understand all of that now because they are all important things about the main topic in this discussion that we must understand well.
The five things that break our wudu are as follows:
- Something that comes out of two openings: the front hole (penis and vagina) and the back hole (anus).
In general, what comes out of the front and back holes is urine, feces, and so on.
We can find this explanation in the following Quranic verse:
أَوْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنَ الْغَائِطِ
“Or one of you has come from the bathroom.” (Al-Maidah: 6).
- Loss of consciousness due to sleep, madness, and so on.
We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
فَمَنْ نَامَ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ
“Whoever sleeps, let him perform wudu.”
- If the skin of a man and a woman who is not a mahram touch without a barrier.
We can find this explanation in the following Quranic verse:
أَوْ لَامَسْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ
“Or you touch a girl.” (Al-Maidah: 6).
- Touching the human penis, vagina, or anus using the palm of the hand or the inside of the finger.
We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
مَنْ مَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ
Whoever holds his penis, let him perform wudu.
- Vomiting and nosebleeds.
We can find this explanation in the hadith below:
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُوْلَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : مَنْ أَصَابَهُ قَيْءٌ , أَوْ رُعَافٌ , أَوْ قَلَسٌ , أَوْ مَذْيٌ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ , ثُمَّ لْيَبْنِ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ . أَخْرَجَهُ اِبْنُ مَاجَهْ
From Aisha radiyallahu anha, that the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has said, "Whoever is exposed to vomiting, nosebleeds (blood coming out of the nose), qalas (fluid that comes from the throat that fills the mouth or other things but it is not vomit) or madhiy, then let him perform wudu and then continue his prayer as long as he does not speak." This hadith was narrated by Ibn Majah.
That's a brief explanation of five things that break our wudu. As Muslims, we must understand that.
Does Food in Mouth Break Wudu?
The third important thing about “does food in mouth break wudu?” what I will explain now is a specific explanation. So, I really hope you read the explanation below very well.
In the previous few paragraphs, I have explained six things that can break wudu. Specifically, we will not find an explanation that food in mouth breaks wudu in the list of things that break wudu. But one thing we must always remember is that touching something unclean can break wudu.
Thus, one question that we must answer is "is food in mouth unclean or not?".
If the food in mouth is unclean food, then it breaks wudu. But if the food in mouth is not unclean, then it does not break wudu. Here's the answer.
That's a brief explanation of "does food in mouth break wudu?" and some important things about it. Do you understand? If you want to ask, please ask!
I think that's enough for this article. May be useful. Amen.
