The Ruling on Purifying Oneself with Water Mixed with Chlorine
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in some swimming pools the water is mixed with what is called chlorine, which changes its smell and taste. Is it permissible to purify oneself with it?
Answer:
Chlorine is pure. Chlorine is pure, and it is permissible to purify oneself with it, unless it changes from the name of water to another name, the name of chlorine. If it changes from the name of water to the name of chlorine, it is not permissible to purify oneself with it, because it is no longer water. However, if it merely contains a small amount of chlorine, or something that does not change the water into another name, the default is that it is purifying. Yes.
