Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is a questioner asking, and she says: There is an elderly woman who comes to the women’s prayer area, and then urine passes from her. When we ask her, she says it is water. What is the ruling, or how should we deal with her?
Answer:
If you know that it is urine, then it is ritually impure, and it is obligatory to wash it away. Her claim that it is water has no standing as long as you know it is urine. So you should avoid it, wash it away, and purify the ground from it. Her claim that it is water is not accepted. Yes. However, if she has pre-seminal fluid with her, if she actually has pre-seminal fluid, and you are not certain that it is urine—it is possible that it is water—then her claim is accepted. Yes.
