Are the bodies of the donkey, the mule, and the cat pure?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for the cat, the donkey, and others, the original ruling regarding them is ritual impurity, and it was lightened, or are they pure?

Answer:
The original ruling regarding them is purity; because they are among those that roam, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Only their flesh is ritually impure; their flesh is the impure part because it is slaughtered. As for their bodies while alive, they are pure, unlike their urine and dung, which are ritually impure, just like the children of Adam; they are pure, but their dung is ritually impure. Likewise, the donkey, the mule, and the cat: their dung and urine are ritually impure, but their bodies are pure.
