The paper tries to answer the question of how the conception of “water” is understood by the Hausa people living mainly in Nigeria and Niger. The main aim of the paper is to develop a cultural schema of water based on everyday contact with this liquid in the household and in the natural environment. The analysis is based on the methodology of cultural linguistics (Sharifian 2017) which examines the relationship between language and cultural conceptualizations. The first part of the article is devoted to every-day use of water. The second part deals with ritual cleansing and healing. The third part describes natural and artificial water reservoirs. Particular attention has been paid to terms co-occuring with the Hausa word ruwa meaning ‘water’, i.e. names of vessels, containers, tanks, and reservoirs as well as people and creatures related to water, such as water carriers, masters of water and supernatural beings inhabiting rivers and lakes.

Hausańska rodzina, podobnie jak „czarny islam”, jest wynikową dwóch światów – muzułmańskiego i afrykańskiego. Dziś lud Hausa, który zamieszkuje tereny północnej Nigerii i południowego Nigru, to niemal w 90% ortodoksyjni muzułmanie, którzy utożsamiają się ze społecznością muzułmańską i przejęli niemal wszystkie religijne nakazy i zakazy islamu. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia najważniejsze aspekty hausańskiej rodziny. Opis hausańskiej rodziny odnosi się do małej i dużej rodziny, narzeczeństwa i małżeństwa. Artykuł opisuje związki poligeniczne, rodzaje związków małżeńskich, a także stosunki panujące w rodzinach, czyli relacje między mężem a żoną oraz między rodzicami a dziećmi. Na koniec omówione zostały częste wśród Huasańczyków rozwody.

worlds: a Muslim and an African one. Today, the people of Hausa, inhabiting the area of northern Nigeria and southern Niger, are almost in 90% orthodox Muslims, identifying themselves with the Muslim society and having taken almost all the orders and prohibitions of Islam. The present article describes the most significant aspects of the Hausa family. The description of this family concerns both the small and the big families, the period of engagement and marriage. It also depicts polygenic relationships, the types of marriages as well as the relations within families, that is: between a husband and a wife and between parents and children. Finally, the present article also describes the so frequent among Hausa divorces.
