Issue No. 21Waters

Unmixed

Issue No.21- Water is either mixed (muḍāf) or unmixed (muṭlaq). Water which is mixed with something like syrup, or extracted from something like rosewater, fruit juice, etc., and is not called merely water anymore, is called mixed water. That which can be plainly called “water” without any clauses or qualifiers, is referred to as unmixed (muṭlaq) water, like all the normal waters out there.

Issue No. 22Waters

Types of Unmixed

Issue No.22- Unmixed water is of five types, each having its own ruling. The five types of unmixed water are:1) Kurr Water 2) Less than Kurr Water (Qalīl) 3) Flowing Water (Jārī) and tap water, 4) Rainwater 5) Well water.All of these types of water are ṭāhir and muṭahhir (make ṭāhir) but mixed water does not make things ṭāhir; it becomes najis upon contact with a najis substance.

The Ruling of Rainwater and Its Conditions to Be Muṭahhir

Issue No.41- Rainwater is to be treated as flowing water, and if it reaches anything najis, it will make it ṭāhir, irrespective of whether it is earth, body, carpet or other than these, provided that there is no original najāsah on them and that the ghusālah (the water with which it has been washed) separates from it.

Issue No. 49Well Water

The Ruling of Well Water and Its Conditions to Be Muṭahhir

Issue No.49- The water of a well is ṭāhir and makes najis things ṭāhir, even if it is less than kurr. And if a najis thing which does not contain an original najāsah is washed with it, it becomes ṭāhir, provided that it does not take on the colour, smell or taste of the original najāsah.
