The question

Is it true that it has been reported that Ibn Hazm held the view of the impurity of a dog’s leftover water (su’r) and the purity of a pig’s leftover water (su’r), and that the urine of pigs, dogs, cows, and all animals is pure? And is it permissible to disseminate this opinion among people?

The answer

What has been attributed to Ibn Hazm concerning the su'r (leftover drink) of a pig, and the urine and droppings of animals whose meat is not eaten, is an error against him. He actually states that the su'r of a pig is pure unless there is a visible trace of its saliva in the water. He also holds that all urine and droppings, whether from animals whose meat is eaten or not, are impure. This is contrary to what has been attributed to him. One must verify before attributing statements to scholars.
