Removing impurities and purifying oneself from them is a legitimate and obligatory act for prayer, based on the Almighty’s saying: "And your garments purify." Among the impurities are: urine, feces, flowing blood, pus,
suppuration, the saliva of dogs and pigs, and the dung and urine of animals whose meat is not permissible to eat. Wine is considered impure by the majority of scholars, and drinking it is a major sin. As for the urine and dung of animals whose meat is permissible to eat, such as camels, cattle, and sheep, they are pure, whereas those from non-permissible animals, like beasts of prey, cats, and mice, are impure.
