The Ruling on the Mouse Regarding Purity and Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The jurists say that anything smaller than a cat in its nature is pure, and they cite the mouse as an example. How can they cite the mouse as an example when it is one of the vermin, and vermin are impure?
Answer:
It is not among the vermin, but it is not impure. Therefore, whatever it eats does not become impure. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that if it falls into oil, it should be removed and the oil used. This indicates that it is not impure; otherwise, if it were impure, the oil would have become impure. Yes.
