The Islamic texts at the core of the tradition evince a sense of ritual cleanliness that is divorced from the modern theory of germ-based illness. Certain actions, such as answering the call of nature or interacting with dogs, are ritually unclean and require ritual cleansing (which should be with water (without the necessity of soap) but can also be with dirt if water is unavailable); meanwhile, other actions which from a modern perspective would be dirty, such as interacting with the saliva of the prophet, are seen as clean owing to their ritual purity. | The Islamic texts at the core of the tradition evince a sense of ritual cleanliness that is divorced from the modern theory of germ-based illness.

{{quote|{{Quran|4|43}}|O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body. If ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, '''and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands.''' For Allah doth blot out sins and forgive again and again. }} | {{quote|{{Quran|4|43}}|O ye who believe!
