This is the type of water used to purify other things. This is the type of water described in the Quran and the Sunnah as the one to be used for Taharah The word Tahir is an expression that means: being pure in itself, but cannot be used to purify other things. So it cannot be used for Taharah Fiqh us-Sunnah (At-Taharah Part 1) 7 Dremali Foundation According to Abu Hanifa and the other opinion of Ahmad, water is divided into two categories The Tahoor The Najis Fiqh us-Sunnah (At-Taharah Part 1) 8 The Tahoor water _, ,=| ' The Najis (impure) water | ' Dremali Foundation According to this view, the Tahoor water refers to: Water that retains its natural characteristics (rain water, sea water, etc.) It also refers to water mixed with pure substances, even if one or more of its color, substances, even if one or more of its color, taste or smell does change, as long as it has not been so mixed with the pure substance that it can no longer be called water Fiqh us-Sunnah (At-Taharah Part 1) 9 Dremali Foundation The Hadith of Um Atiyah Umm 'Atiyah narrated that the Prophet, .. . _.. ,.. entered her house after the death of his daughter Zainab and said, "Wash her three or five or more times--if you see fit to do so--with water and dry tree leaves.
