The Ruling on Water Changed by Something Other Than Its Own Nature

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) that salt is of two types, water-based and mineral, and that the water-based type, if it mixes with pure water, does not harm it because its origin is water. In *al-Zad* (may Allah preserve you), it is stated that if water is altered by something that is not a substance, such as water-based salt, it is disliked. Is this view the weaker position?
Answer:
It is pure. The disliked [water] is pure. The disliked [water] is pure. That is to say, the act of lowering its status is disliked, so its meaning is that it has become something that is not pure, so using it is disliked, yet it remains pure.
