Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani
A friend of mine gave me an idea of starting a business which is very profitable. i was instate of major ritual impurity. I start and profit from that business, will the money earned would be haram or should i not start the business.
what are the limits of the things one can do while in junub. when i was growig up i was taught that eating, talking to people, learning or gaining knowledge is like haram while in state of major ritual impurity is this correct.
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
I pray that this finds you well, and in the best of health and spirits. May Allah grant you all good and success in this life and the next.
Being in a state of major ritual impurity (janaba) is not optimal, but only certain things are impermissible in it, such as ritual prayer, touching and reciting the Qur’an, entering the mosque, and circumambulating the Kaaba. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah]
Other things remain permissible when in a state of major ritual impurity, without dislike–even the remembrance of Allah (dhikr). Sayyida Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would not be prevented from the remembrance of Allah by anything, even ritual impurity.
However, it is best and most praiseworthy to strive to be in a state of ritual purity, particularly when engaging in spiritual works and when undertaking major life actions, as this was the way of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
And Allah alone gives success.
