Question:
Abu Abd al-Rahman from al-Hafar al-Batin. Please go ahead. Abu Abd al-Rahman, Shaykh, what is the difference between our saying "pure water" (tahir) and "purifying water" (tahir), and what are the books of jurisprudence that discuss this?
Answer:
Pure (tahir) is that which is pure in itself but does not purify others. As for purifying (tahir), it is that which is pure in itself and purifies others. There are many books that discuss this. All books of jurisprudence begin by discussing ritual purity. For example, the text of al-Zad and all the jurisprudence texts of the Imams begin with ritual purity because it is the key to prayer. Ritual purity is the key to prayer, and prayer is the second pillar of Islam, and it is not valid without ritual purity. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
