The question

What is the difference between water altered by chlorine, which removes its designation as water, and water altered by a pure substance that so overwhelms it that it loses its designation as water, such as ink or coffee, concerning which Ibn al-Mundhir transmitted a consensus on the impermissibility of purification with it?

The answer

Ibn al-Mundhir's consensus is that non-wine liquids are not permissible for Wudu or . This is what Ibn Qudamah mentioned, because Allah established ritual purity for water. The change in water due to chlorine is not among what was mentioned; rather, it belongs to the category of water mixed with a pure substance that can be avoided, and the name "water" remains. There is a difference of opinion regarding this type.
