6 // Water conditions

Ruling 53 – Mudaf water (mentioned in paragraph 21), such as fruit juices or broth, which does not cleanse defiled objects. Moreover, ritual ablutions performed with “mudaf” water, large (ghusli) and small (wudu), are invalid.

Ruling 54 – If mudaf water comes into contact with any kind of impurity or defiled object, then it becomes defiled. Except for three cases:

First: If the mudaf water pours from top to bottom. For example, if rose water from a pitcher is poured onto a defiled hand, then the rose water in the pitcher will remain undefiled.

The second: If it will be under pressure in the form of a jet beat from the bottom up. In this case, only that part of the “mudaf” water that came into contact with the bad water will become dirty, and the lower part of the stream will remain clean.

Third: If the mudaf water is so abundant that it cannot be said to have become impure. For example, if some kind of impurity gets into a corner of a huge container filled with “mudaf” water. Or if dirt meets oil at one end of a long oil pipeline. In such cases, most of the “mudaf” water will remain intact.

Ruling 55 – If defiled mudaf water is mixed with water of more than 384 liters or running water to such an extent that it is no longer called mudaf water, then it becomes clean.

Rule 56 – If a person has doubts as to whether “mutlyak” water has become “mudaf” water or not (for example, a spill after a flood), then it continues to be considered “mutlyak” water. And with it, you can clean defiled objects, perform small and large ablutions. Also, on the contrary, if doubts arise as to whether “mudaf” water has become “mutlyak” water, then it continues to be considered “mudaf” water.

Ruling 57 – Water about which it is not known whether it is mudaf water or mutlyak water, and it is not known what it was before (mudaf water or mutlyak water) does not cleanse defiled objects. Perfect ablution with such water, big or small, will be invalid. But if this water comes into contact with bad water, it will not become defiled.

Rule 58 – If the water, as a result of being close to any kind of impurity, absorbs the smell of that impurity, it will not become defiled, but will remain pure. If only she does not come into contact with the most vile. However, it is advisable to refrain from using such water.

Rule 59 – If the smell, color or taste of the water changes as a result of contact with the bad, and then the smell, color or taste of the defilement disappears by itself, then that water will not become pure. Unless this water is mixed with water of more than 384 liters, or rainwater, or running water.

Rule 60 – If the water was once pure and then a person doubts whether it has become defiled or not, then it continues to be pure. Conversely, if there is any doubt as to whether water that was once defiled has become pure or not, then it continues to be considered defiled.

Ruling 61 – The water left after a pig and a dog, which in Islam are considered among the types of impurity, are defiled and may not be used. However, the water left after other animals whose meat is forbidden to eat, such as like a cat or predatory animals, is not defiled. But, despite this, the use of this water is undesirable.

Rule 62 – It is desirable that the water used for drinking be completely clean (cleanliness here means cleanliness from dirt and various impurities). It is forbidden to drink contaminated water, which can cause the appearance of various diseases. It is also desirable that the water used for washing and washing should also be clean. As long as it is possible to use clean water, it is necessary to avoid the use of polluted and impure water.
