Is the vapor that emanates from urine ritually impure?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Scholars differed regarding the purity of smoke rising from impurities. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah preponderated that steam transformed from an impurity is pure. Even if its impurity is asserted, it does not contaminate clothes it comes into contact with, because it is like wind, having no substance. Some Shafi'i jurists explicitly stated that steam emanating from a latrine of impurities is pure. If the questioner is referring to urine spray, then it is impure.
