Ruling on water left over by humans and by animals whose meat is eaten

Is the water left over by a human, or by an animal whose meat is eaten, pure and valid for purification?

Hanafi

Water left over by any human, Muslim or not, and by an animal whose meat is eaten, is pure: hadath is removed with it and najasah cleared.

Water left over by a human and by an animal whose meat is eaten is tahur, valid for purification, lifting hadath and clearing impurity.

Water left over by a human is pure even if he is not a Muslim, and so is that of an animal whose meat is eaten: it is tahur, valid for wudu and ghusl.
