hence excuse) of using water is when the time for Salah is constrained and if one does an ablution, he/she may not be able to pray in time; which is one of the 175 instances. But then, Alahazrat saw the need to elaborate on it and address associated issues, so he wrote a nested monograph: Al-Žafar li Qawli Zufar. Imām Zufar permits this case in opposition to the three imams of the madh’hab: Imām Aážam, Abū Yūsuf and Imām Muĥammad. Alahazrat inclines towards Imām Zufar’s position and verifies another report from all three imāms that agrees with Imām Zufar; moreover it is corroborated from a number of secondary aspects in other fatāwā. 47. Tanwīr al-Qindīl fī Awşāf al-Mindīl Illuminating Lights: Commending the Use of Towel Do we lose reward if we dry our face with a towel after ablution? Alahazrat replies that one does not lose reward by drying with a towel after ablution. He lists a number of ĥadīth that indicate using a towel after ablution is praiseworthy. 48. Al-Ijāzātu’l Matīnah li Úlamāyi Bakkah wa’l Madīnah Exuberant Authorisations for the Scholars of Makkah and Madīnah Alahazrat listed all his authorisations to various úlamā of Makkah and Madīnah. In his authorisations to prominent úlamā he mentions various isnads he has from his masters. 49. Niýmu’z Zād li Rawmi’d Đād Excellent Provision: On the Ephemeral Pronunciation of Đād This is an answer to a query on the pronunciation of đād and its phonology. The question is in Persian and Alahazrat also answers it in Persian. 50. Lamá al-Aĥkām án lā Wuđū’u Mina’z Zukām Radiance of the Ruling that Ablution is Not Necessary for a Runny Nose Someone asked whether the wuđū will be nullified on account of a runny nose. Alahazrat replies (as the title informs) that it is not necessary. However, Alahazrat evaluates the state of impurity of various things.
