Which noble verse did the jurists use as evidence that rainwater is pure, and how does it serve as evidence?
Rainwater is pure (tahūr), and the proof of this is Allah Almighty's saying: "And We have sent down from the sky pure water" (Quran 25:48), and His saying: "And He sends down upon you from the sky water to purify you thereby" (Quran 8:11). As for the verse from An-Naml: "Is He [not best] who created the heavens and earth and sent down for you from the sky, rain, by which We caused to grow gardens of delight which you could not [otherwise] have grown their trees? Is there a deity with Allah? Rather, they are a people who deviate [from truth]" (Quran 27:60), it is used to infer that Allah Almighty bestowed His grace upon His servants by sending down rain, and this necessitates that it be pure and suitable for benefit.
