What is the meaning of "that which is squeezed from pure things, like rosewater," and is it pure?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The term "added water" is mentioned in Islamic jurisprudence when discussing categories of water. It refers to pure water that is not permissible for removing ritual impurity () or physical filth (khabath), such as rosewater, clove water, or water that exudes from tree veins. Jurists have agreed on the purity of this water and the permissibility of using it for drinking and cooking. However, they differed on the permissibility of using it to remove ritual impurity or physical filth. The majority of jurists held that it is not permissible, while Ibn Abi Layla, Al-Asamm, Abu Hanifa, and Ahmad (in one narration) disagreed.
