The Ruling on Using Water That Has Been Used to Remove Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is a question: If water that has been used to remove a state of ritual impurity (hadath) is not sufficient for removing another state of ritual impurity, is it permissible to use it to remove physical impurity (najasah)?
Answer:
If it is not sufficient for removing a state of ritual impurity, it is not sufficient for removing physical impurity. However, the correct view is that it is permissible to purify oneself with it, even if it has been used to remove a state of ritual impurity. This is because water does not become impure except by one of three things: a change in its color, taste, or smell due to impurity. If it changes due to impurity, it becomes impure in general. But if none of its attributes change due to impurity, it remains pure, even if it has been used. This is the correct view.
