The Creed of Compassion-Islamic Teachings & Answering Doctrinal Misconceptions

Issue No.45- If rainwater flows and reaches under the roof or a place where rain does not fall, it will make that place ṭāhir provided that the rain has not stopped.

Issue No.46- If rainwater collects in a place and is still connected to the rain, the water is treated as rainwater and makes any najis thing ṭāhir, even if it is less than kurr.

Issue No.47- If it rains on a ṭāhir carpet which has been spread on a najis surface and the water begins flowing beneath it, not only does the carpet not become najis, but the surface becomes ṭāhir too.

Issue No.48- If it rains on a pond whose water is najis and mixes with it, the pond water will become ṭāhir.

Issue No.50-Though the water of a well does not become najis owing to something najis falling in it, yet, it is recommended (mustaḥab) that a quantity of water be drawn from the well for each najis thing and thrown away. Details about this quantity are given in detailed fiqhi books.

Issue No.56- Water which was previously unmixed that we are uncertain whether has turned into mixed water or not (like in the case of floodwater where we don’t know whether it is called normal water or not anymore), will be treated as unmixed water, i.e., it will make najis things ṭāhir and it will also be in order to perform wuḍū and ghusl with it. However, if it was previously mixed water, and it is not known whether or not it has turned into unmixed water, it will be treated as mixed water.

Issue No.57- Water which is not known to be mixed or unmixed, whose previous state (of being mixed or unmixed) is also unknown, will not make najis things ṭāhir, and cannot be used to perform wuḍū or ghusl with, but if a najis thing reaches it, it does not become najis.

Issue No.58- If water takes on the smell of an original najāsah due to its proximity, it will be ṭāhir as long as the original najāsah has not reached it. However, it would be better to avoid it.

Issue No.59- If the change of water whose colour, smell, or taste have changed by najāsah, vanishes by itself, the water does not become ṭāhir, unless it is mixed with kurr, rain or flowing water.

Issue No.60- Water which was previously ṭāhir and is not known to have become najis will be deemed to be ṭāhir, and water which was previously najis and is not known to have become ṭāhir will be deemed to be najis.

Issue No.66- There is no problem in the front or the back of one’s body to be facing the qiblah when washing the urinary or faecal outlets. But it is not permitted for one’s front or back to face the qiblah at the time of istibrā as an obligatory precaution.
