Water that separates from a cleansing solution, if it comes into contact with an impurity and then separates from it before the impurity is removed, is considered impure. However, if the impurity is an impurity of judgment (hukmiyah) for which no trace can be perceived, and water runs over it and purifies it, then if the water separates from it without changing, it is pure. If there is doubt about its contact with an impurity, it is ruled to be pure, because the default state is purity, and impurity is not determined by mere doubt.
