The question

Does dipping a hand, from which pus is flowing, into a bucket of water once constitute "nadh" (sprinkling/sufficing), and what is the ruling on purifying the hand by this dipping according to the Maliki school of thought?

The answer

Purifying pre-seminal fluid (madhy) is done by performing ablution (wudu') and sprinkling the garment soiled by it with a handful of water. Scholars have differed on the meaning of "nadh" (sprinkling/gushing); some interpreted it as merely sprinkling with water, while others interpreted it as saturating the affected area with water. What the questioner did by dipping his hand into the bucket is considered "nadh" according to the interpretation of the majority of scholars. If the water in the bucket does not change, then the hand becomes pure, though it is disliked to use this water if it is a small quantity.
