Summary
Washing the front and rear private parts because of sweat before ablution is not necessary. A person who is already in a state of purity remains so until something invalidates it, and scholars agree that sweat is not impure. The view requiring washing of flowing sweat applies only to istinja' done with stones, whereas sweat after istinja' with water is not considered impure.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai kesimpulan setelah kami tekuni beberapa nas dan hujahan di atas maka kami menyatakan bahawa perbuatan membersihkan qubul dan dubur dari peluh sebelum berwuduk adalah tidak perlu.
