Ruling 26 — Purification (Ṭahārah)

Qalīl water with which the urinary outlet or the anus are washed does not make anything it comes into contact with impure, provided that five conditions are met: 1. it does not acquire the smell, colour, or taste of the impurity; 2. another impurity has not come into contact with it; 3. another impurity, such as blood, has not come out with the urine or faeces; 4. particles of faeces do not appear in the water; 5. a more than usual amount of impurity has not spread around the urinary outlet or the anus.
