What is the ruling on water if its smell, color, or taste changes due to a pure substance, and it remains called water?

The questioner : Shaykh, if water changes due to a pure substance, such that its smell, color, or taste changes due to a pure substance, and it remains called water, is it purifying or not purifying?

The Shaykh : If your question is precise, as you said it remains called water, then it is pure and purifying. But to clarify, is your question precise? Do you have an example in mind?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : What is it?

The questioner : I mean water.

The Shaykh : Do not repeat your words.

The questioner : We put something in it.

The Shaykh : Do not repeat your words.

The questioner : Ah, Shaykh, I want to provide an example.

The Shaykh : Yes, provide an example, do not repeat the words.

The questioner : Yes, we put soap in pure water in a small amount, such that it remained called water and was no longer called soapy water.
