Water that is OverwhelmedWater that is Overwhelmed Water can be overwhelmed when mixed with solids, it if losses its ‘thinness’ and ‘flowing nature’, but is not harmed if mainly its ‘adjectives’ are affected through mixing with saffron, fruit or tree leaves Water can be overwhelmed when mixed with solids, it if losses its ‘thinness’ and ‘flowing nature’, but is not harmed if mainly its ‘adjectives’ are affected through mixing with saffron, fruit or tree leaves. Water is overwhelmed when mixed with liquids, if one attribute of the other liquid appears, when the liquid has two attributes only, like milk; it has colour and taste but no smell, or two attributes from a liquid that has three attributes, like vinegar. Module 1 – Fiqh of Tahara

Water that is OverwhelmedWater that is Overwhelmed If the liquid has no attributes, like used water, or rose water that has stopped having a smell, then ‘overwhelmed’ should be decided by weight. If two pounds or used water mix with a pound of plain water, it is not permissible to use for Wudu, and if the reverse case, it is permissible. Module 1 – Fiqh of Tahara

The Remnants of WaterThe Remnants of Water If an animal drinks from little water, the remaining water is Su’r and is of 4 types; 1)Pure and Purifying from which drank a human, horse or animal whose flesh can be eaten 2)Najis and cannot be used, from which drank a dog, a pig or carnivorous animal like a leopard or wolf 3)Disliked in the presence of an alternative, from which drunk a cat or a roaming chicken, predatory birds like a falcon eagle or a mouse, but not a scorpion 4)Doubtful water from which drank a mule or donkey unless there is no alternative, so he may make Wudu then Tayammum Module 1 – Fiqh of Tahara

A Discussion on WellsA Discussion on Wells If an animal falls in the water, and its saliva reaches the water, then the ruling follows the ruling of the saliva (ruling of the dog) If we find a dead animal in the well, and we do not know when it fell in the water, then we consider its water as Najis for a day and night before the time we found it. If that dead animal was also bloated, then it is considered Najis for 3 days and 3 nights. Module 1 – Fiqh of Tahara
