The ruling on the saliva of a cat and the permissibility of drinking from its vessel

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If we hold that the saliva of a cat is pure, does that mean it becomes?
The Shaykh:
My brother, this is not our opinion; this is a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). No one has said that the saliva of a cat is impure. The hadith on this matter is authentic.
The questioner:
He says: Does that mean it is permissible to drink from it afterward, or is it only used for purification?
The Shaykh:
What is left in it is pure and suitable for use, drinking, eating, and so on. Yes, it is as if it had not touched it.
