Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
An impure object is purified by washing it with pure water until the water separating from it is pure and unchanged by the impurity, and the taste, color, and smell of the impurity are removed. However, if the removal of the color and smell is difficult, they are excused. As for minor impurities that are pardoned due to their small quantity or difficulty, they do not require washing. This includes an amount of blood, pus, or serous fluid equivalent to the size of a dirham.
