The Creed of Compassion-Islamic Teachings & Answering Doctrinal Misconceptions

Issue No.182- To make clothes, carpets, etc., ṭāhir with less than kurr water, it is necessary to wring it slightly so that the water separates.

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.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.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.

Issue No.194- Meat or fat which becomes najis can be made ṭāhir by rinsing. The same ruling applies to the body or clothes that may have a little grease on them which does not prevent water from reaching the body or the clothes. However, if it prevents water from reaching the body, it must be removed first.

Issue No.178- If najis metal is rinsed, its exterior layer will become ṭāhir, though its interior may have become najis when it was molten.

Issue No.198- If the exterior of a salt-stone and the like becomes najis, it can be made ṭāhir by rinsing and there is no difference between kurr, less than kurr, flowing or tap water.

Issue No.185- If the exterior of wheat, rice, soap, etc., becomes najis, it will become ṭāhir by immersion in kurr or flowing water or by holding it under tap water. However, if their interior becomes najis, they should be kept in water enough that one becomes sure that water has penetrated in them and flowed out.

Issue No.181- If an object becomes najis by urine or anything else, it is sufficient to rinse it once with kurr or less than kurr water. However, in the case of urine it would be better to wash it twice when using less than kurr water.

Issue No.180- A najis object will become ṭāhir if it is washed with kurr, flowing or tap water enough that the original najāsah is removed or when it is immersed in kurr or flowing water after removing the original najāsah. However in the case of carpets, clothes, etc., they must also be wrung or shaken so that the water absorbed within them separates.

Issue No.174- A container that becomes najis by means of an intoxicating beverage must be washed and rubbed with the hand three times with less than kurr water, although it is recommended to wash it seven times.

Issue No.171- If a dog has licked or has drunk water or any other liquid from a container, it must be first scrubbed with ṭāhir soil mixed with a little water, then it must be washed twice with less than kurr water or once with kurr or flowing water. And if the saliva of a dog falls into a container, as a recommended precaution, the same ruling will apply. However, if other parts of its body touch a container with moisture, it is not obligatory to scrub it with soil; rather, it should be washed three times with less than kurr water or once with kurr or flowing water.
