Adjacent impurity does not affect the purity of water. This refers to an impurity that has not fallen into the water but is merely next to it. Jurists have discussed this issue and confirmed that if the water's smell changes due to its proximity to an impurity, it does not lose its purity, and a consensus on this has been reported. Some scholars mentioned that they are unaware of any differing opinion regarding the purity of water whose smell has changed due to its proximity to a carcass. This is supported by the hadith: "Indeed, water is pure, unless its taste, color, or smell is changed by an impurity that occurs within it." It is preferable to avoid it if possible, but if unadulterated water is available, that is better.
