Question 18) - Explain the rules regarding the two Hadaths?

A: When Ghusl becomes Fard upon a man or a woman, it is not permissible for them to perform Salah in that condition. They may not enter the Masjid, read the Quran, touch its manuscript ?Mus-haf? except with an attached covering, or perform Tawaf. It is permissible for them to remember Allah Ta'ala but not to recite the Quran. The person in al-Hadath al-Asghar may not perform Salah until he has performed Wow. In the same way, he may not perform Tawaf of the Ka'bah. He may read Quran, remember Allah and enter the Masjid. He may not however touch the Mus-haf of the Quran except with a detached covering.
