Is there any leniency in the ruling concerning the spread of minor impurity through a liquid, which disappears upon drying, so as to alleviate the hardship of purifying it after it has been pardoned?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the amount of impurity that is pardoned due to its small quantity, when mixed with a liquid, exceeds the pardoned amount, then it must be washed. Impurity that is not pardoned must be removed. If the impurity is hukmiyyah (trace impurity), it is sufficient to pour water over it. If it is 'ayniyyah (visible impurity), its substance must be removed without exaggeration. The drying of impurity and the disappearance of its substance do not purify it; rather, its location must be washed. It is advised to disregard (obsessive whispers) and not pay attention to them.
