## Resource

In this episode of al-Muwatta, Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan covers two major discussions from Kitab al-Taharah: does sleep break wudu, and what are the purity rulings around seawater and animals? The sleep discussion walks through the hadith of Safwan ibn 'Assal, the athar of Umar, Dalalat al-Iqtiran as a usuli principle and why it's weak landing on the position that it's not the sleep itself but the posture that determines the ruling. The second half unpacks the hadith "the sea is pure and its dead are permissible" and the hadith of Abu Qatada on cats drinking from wudu water. Several Usul al-Fiqh tools are broken open along the way a session that covers far more ground than the chapter title suggests. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abdu...
