What is the ruling on excretion after the seventh washing or excretion from non-passage orifices?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Funerals
Primary text
If impurity exits after the seventh washing, the washing is not repeated. Imam Ahmad stated that a deceased is not washed more than seven times, regardless of whether something exits. If something exits after the seventh, Wudu is not repeated. The impurity itself must be washed away, and the exit point should be plugged with cotton or, if necessary, with hard clay (al-tin al-harr) to secure the area.

There is an interpretation that if something exits after the seventh, Wudu should be repeated, similar to a Janib (ritually impure person) who voids after performing Ghusl. However, the primary ruling states Wudu is not repeated because exceeding seven washings is prohibited due to the risk of loosening the body, which constitutes mutilation, and the Prophet's command limited the number to seven.
