The Creed of Compassion-Islamic Teachings & Answering Doctrinal Misconceptions

Issue No.184- If a najis mat which is woven with thread is immersed in kurr or flowing water or is held under tap water, it will become ṭāhir after removal of the original najāsah.

Issue No.186- If one doubts whether najis water has reached the interior (insides) of something or not, its interior will be ṭāhir.

Issue No.187- If something najis is placed in a container and water is poured on it three times with the container being emptied each time, both the najis object and the container become ṭāhir. And if it is something like clothes which needs to be squeezed, one must squeeze it and tilt the container so that the water empties out.

Issue No.188- If najis clothing which is dyed is immersed in kurr or flowing water, or is held under tap water, it will become ṭāhir if water reaches all its parts before becoming “mixed water” by the dye, even though “mixed water” may come out upon squeezing. However, if it becomes “mixed water” before reaching all the parts, it should be washed enough that “unmixed water” reaches it.

Issue No.189- After rinsing a carpet or clothes, if some mud or soap or other things are seen on it, they are ṭāhir and if there are larger objects, their exterior is also ṭāhir. However if najis water has reached their interior, it is necessary that ṭāhir water permeates through and separates from them.

Issue No.190- If an object is washed and the original najāsah is removed, there is no harm if its smell or colour remains in it. And if one doubts whether the original najāsah is still there or not, it must be washed until its removal is certain.

Issue No.191- The body becomes ṭāhir with kurr, flowing or tap water immediately when the original najāsah is washed off and it is not necessary to re-enter the water after coming out of it.

Issue No.192- If najis food remains between the teeth, if one swirls water around his mouth so that it reaches all spots of the food it will become ṭāhir.

Issue No.193- If najis hair of the head and face is washed with less than kurr water it is not necessary to squeeze the hair if the water comes out by itself, otherwise, it should be squeezed.

Issue No.195- Tap water which is connected to kurr water is treated as kurr and flowing water. Therefore, any najis object washed with it becomes ṭāhir once the original najāsah is removed.

Issue No.196- If a person rinses an object and becomes sure that it has become ṭāhir, but later doubts whether or not he had rinsed it correctly, the object is ṭāhir unless he knows that he had not been mindful when washing it.

Issue No.197- If a najis sandy or gravelled ground is rinsed with less than kurr water and it absorbs the ghusālah, i.e., the remaining water, it will become ṭāhir, but the sands under the surface will be najis. Likewise, if the ground is steep and water flows down, it becomes ṭāhir, but if the ghusālah remains on it, the ground is najis unless the ghusālah is collected.
