What is the ruling on using a vessel in which a dead mouse was found?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in using a container in which a mouse died after it has been purified. It should be washed until the trace of the carcass's impurity is removed, then it can be used. This is because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered that the mouse and the surrounding contaminated ghee be discarded, but he did not order that the container be discarded.
