English translation

63. Abū Hājjib narrated from a man from Banū Ghifār who said: "The Prophet ﷺ prohibited using the leftover (water) of a woman's purification." (Hasan) [He said:] There is something on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin Sarjis. Abū 'Eisā said: Some of the Fuqahā' disliked Wudū' with what is leftover from a woman's purification. This is the saying of Aḥmad and Ishāq: They dislike using what is leftover from her purification, but they do not see any harm in what is leftover from her drinking.

Arabic text

٦٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ ‌سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ ‌سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي حَاجِبٍ ، عَنْ ‌رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ فَضْلِ طَهُورِ الْمَرْأَةِ». وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ. وَكَرِهَ بَعْضُ الْفُقَهَاءِ الْوُضُوءَ بِفَضْلِ طَهُورِ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ، كَرِهَا فَضْلَ طَهُورِهَا، وَلَمْ يَرَيَا بِفَضْلِ سُؤْرِهَا بَأْسًا.

Commentary

According to the majority of A'immah, there is no harm in using water leftover by husband or wife; and the commandment to not use is on the basis of undesirability (i.e. avoidance is better yet the use is allowed).
