Does smoking hashish invalidate minor or major ablution?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Consuming hashish is prohibited (haram) and intoxicating according to the majority of jurists. If it intoxicates, it necessitates the prescribed punishment (hadd) like that for alcohol. Furthermore, it nullifies ablution (wudu') by consensus if it removes sanity. However, ritual bathing (ghusl) is not necessitated by the removal of sanity, unless seminal emission is confirmed. If one consumes it and is not intoxicated, their ablution is not nullified, but they incur sin, because a small amount of an intoxicant is prohibited. The validity of their prayer should be considered if they did not rinse their mouth, based on the opinion that hashish is impure.
