Purification of Physical and Spiritual Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it correct if we say that physical impurity is purified by water and ice, and that spiritual impurity is not purified except by sincerity and the oneness of Allah?
Answer:
Yes. The ruling on impurity—this is the ruling on impurity that occurs in a pure place and makes it impure, such as a garment, the body, or a spot—this is purified by water. It is purified by water until it is removed. As for the impurity of shirk (associating partners with Allah), it is not purified except by tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Yes.
