Question:
We ask, and he says: Is it permissible to perform wudu' with water whose taste, color, and smell have changed due to a pure substance?
Answer:
There is no harm in that, according to the correct view, as long as the name "water" still applies to it; there is no harm in performing wudu' with it, even if it changed due to a pure substance that did not strip it of the name "water." However, if the name "water" is stripped from it, it is not permissible to purify oneself with it. If another name predominates over it, one does not purify oneself with it, because it is not unrestricted water. Allah the Exalted has only made unrestricted water that with which one purifies oneself. Yes.
