f:745 - What to do if lizard falls on the body	Country : Jalna,India, Name : Owais Ahmad

Question: Usually, it is said that if a lizard falls on the body, then gold should be dipped in the water and bath should be taken. Is it necessary as per the Shariah? ............................................................................
Answer: Among the reasons described in the Shariah that make a bath or ablution compulsory, a lizard falling on the body is not mentioned. There is no mention of this in the works of the Jurists as well. Thus, it is not Compulsory (Wajib) to take a bath if a lizard falls on the body and dipping gold in that water has no basis in the Shariah. In the given situation, if there is any kind of dirt/filth on the lizard, then the part of the body where it has touched the body and/or the clothes have to be washed. If a lizard falls on someone and that person wants to take a bath for the sake of being clean, then there is no problem in it either. And Allah Most High knows best.
