The answer

If your hand, bearing dry impurity, touches a dry part of the faucet, the faucet does not become impure. However, if the impurity is wet, or the faucet handle is wet, then it becomes impure. It is purified by pouring water over it until the impurity is removed. The water that falls to the ground is pure, as long as its color, taste, or smell has not changed due to the impurity.
