Arabic text

77 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: «كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَنَحْنُ جُنُبَانِ»

Commentary

1. There is no legal restriction on husband and wife bathing together. 2. 'Aishah and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ took water by turns, and since each of them were in a state of impurity until the completion of the Ghusl, then the water they were using was "used" and it was being used by one in a state of impurity. This shows that it is permissible to use the left-over water, regardless of whether it was used by a man or a woman.
