The questioner : The distinction between the earth and other things.
The Shaykh : As for the earth, the evidence is known. However, the correct view is that there is no difference.
The questioner : No, no.
The Shaykh : It is like the earth, but what separates, for example, from a garment contaminated with blood must be changed in the first washing, or it may be changed in the second or third washing. This thing contaminated with ritual impurity is undoubtedly impure and changed.
The questioner : And it returns to being seven washes.
The Shaykh : No, no. In their view, yes, it must be seven, one of which is with soil, in the case of the impurity of a dog or a pig.
The questioner : What is based on this view of non-existence?
The Shaykh : What do you mean?
The questioner : This is based on the view after the distinction, according to the correct view, that if it separates before the seventh.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is based on it if it separates unchanged, even in the first time, that it is pure.
