If one experiences an impurity after taking the dust but before wiping the face, the taking is invalidated, and he must take it again.

الْأَخْذُ the taking

أَخْذُ taking

This is a noun built from the verb 'to take', naming the action itself rather than a thing. It opens a possessive chain: it sits directly against the next word with no separate word for 'of', and it gives up its own 'the' so that its definiteness comes from the noun that follows it. So 'taking' here is really 'the taking of...'.

أَخْذُ taking
