The Answer to the Hadith "Water is Pure" in the Context of the Opinion Regarding the Two Qullahs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the way to respond to the argument made with the hadith that "Water is pure and nothing makes it impure except what overpowers its taste, color, and smell," from those who hold that water becomes impure if impurity touches it, provided it is less than two qullahs?
Answer:
First, this phrasing is incorrect. You do not say "responding to the hadith"; one does not respond to a hadith. Rather, you say "how is the hadith answered." The answer is clear, unless you abolish the application of the hadith of the two qullahs. If you abolish its application, yes. But if you apply it, which is the correct position and the authentic hadith, then this answer is necessary, in order to reconcile the hadiths.
