Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : May Allah reward you. If the color, smell, or taste of water changes due to impurity, and then that impurity is removed, either by boiling or by a natural substance...
The Shaykh : There is no harm in mentioning this question, even though hadiths indicating this will be cited later. That is, if the change in water caused by impurity is removed, does it become pure, or is there a difference between it being removed on its own or through treatment? The correct view is that it becomes pure, whether it is removed on its own or through treatment, and whether the water is little or much. Yes, and whether a substance that dissolves the impurity is added to it or not. This is because the ruling revolves around the presence or absence of its cause. So when its effect, meaning the impurity, is removed, it becomes pure and lawful, provided it is not harmful.
