Irtimas (immersion)
 | This section is a general introduction to the rulings of a fiqhi topic. |
Irtimās (Arabic: اِرتماس , lit: Immersion) is a term in jurisprudence meaning immersion of the head[1] about which there are discussions in jurisprudential books in the parts of tahara (purity), hajj and fasting[2]. According to Shi'a jurists, immersion of the head in the water is forbidden for a person wearing ihram and a person who is fasting[3]. Also, some have considered immersion among the invalidators of fasting[4].
- If one does not immerse one's head in the water intentionally, irtimas is not occured and one's fasting and hajj are not invalidated[5] .
- According to a group of jurists, based on caution, immersing the head in mudaf water is also considered irtimas[6].
- According to some, if the scull of the head is out of the water upon immersing the head in water, the fating is valid[7].
- There is no difference in immersing the head in water at once or gradually[8].
The word "irtimas" is mentioned in the discussions of Immersional ghusl, wudu irtimasi and in some hadiths meaning immersion in sins[9].
