Purifying Najasah (ritual impurity) with something other than water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And we return to the questions, may Allah preserve you. This questioner also asks: Is najasah (ritual impurity) purified with something other than water?

Answer:
No, impurity is not purified with anything other than water, because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:
and We send down from the sky pure waterوَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُورًا
[Al-Furqan 25:48]
and He sent down
from the sky, rain by which to purify youمِّنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم بِهِ
[Al-Anfal 8:11]
So impurities are removed with pure water, except for what has been reported regarding the two sandals, where it is sufficient to wipe them with pure dust, and likewise istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) with a dry stone or whatever serves as its substitute; this is sufficient in place of water. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
