The amount of water that becomes ritually impure due to impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q5: What is the amount of water that becomes ritually impure, on which the scholars agree?
A5: The amount on which the scholars agree is that if water changes in one of its three characteristics—its color, its taste, or its smell—due to impurity, it is ritually impure. This is by the consensus of the scholars. As for if impurity falls into water that is more than two qullahs and it does not change, it is purifying by the consensus of the scholars. If it is less than two qullahs, this is a point of disagreement among the scholars, and the most cautious course is to avoid it; because of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan ad-Daraqutni 1:11 meaning that what is less than two qullahs carries filth and is affected by it, and the precaution is to leave it. If it is a small amount, the precaution is for a person to leave it. As for if it is more than two qullahs and it has not changed, it is purifying.

If water reaches two qullahs, it does not carry impurity
إذا بلغ الماء قلتين لم يحمل الخبث
