The ruling on water in which impurity has fallen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! We have a water tank in which a child urinated, and we also found a rat in it. What is your opinion?
If impurity, such as urine, feces, a rat, or anything else that is ritually impure, falls into water and does not change its taste, color, or smell, the water remains purifying. However, the impure substance itself must be removed.For example: If it is feces, it must be scooped out of the water and removed. Likewise, a rat must also be removed.
The questioner: The tank is large, so how can one manage to remove it?The Shaykh: It is necessary for someone who knows how to swim to go down into it and remove it; because if it remains, the water will be affected later. After this, the water should be drained until only a little remains, and then it is removed.
