and left the dung. He said: 'It is Riks (a degenerative or filthy thing).ألقى الروثة، وقال إنها ركس،
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 17Sahih (Darussalam)
What is the meaning of this word?

Answer:
*Rujus* means impure, which indicates that impure things are not used for cleaning oneself. The other reason given is that it is the food of the jinn's beasts. Thus, a thing is explained by two causes, and it is most common in *al-Ma'ani* that a thing is explained by more than one cause: that it is impure and that it is the food of the jinn's beasts.
