The Ruling on the Urine and Dung of Animals Whose Meat Is Eaten and Those Whose Meat Is Not Eaten
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the urine and dung of animals whose meat is eaten, are they ritually impure and do they invalidate the ablution, or not?
The urine and dung of an animal whose meat is eaten are pure, and you are not required to wash your clothes or body if any of it touches you.And the evidence for that is: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation for praying in the resting places of sheep, which are the places where they rest at night and stay overnight, and these places are not free from dung and urine. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the 'Uraynah tribe to join the camels of zakah and drink from their urine and milk, but one should not pray in the grazing grounds of camels; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited that. This prohibition is not due to their impurity, but for a meaning that some scholars do not understand, or which is understood by others, namely that camels were created from jinn, so there is an effect in their grazing grounds from these camels that were created from jinn. Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited praying in their grazing grounds.
As for the urine and dung of animals whose meat is not eaten, it is ritually impure, such as the mule, the donkey, the cat, and the like. As for whether it invalidates the ablution?Answer: It does not invalidate the ablution; even impure things do not invalidate the ablution; because the impure thing only requires washing, and ablution is not required for it.
