F34Chapter of Waters

Ruling on water left over by dogs, swine, and beasts of prey

Is water left over by dogs, swine, and beasts of prey impure, spoiling the water and barring purification with it?

Hanafi

Water left over by dogs, swine, and beasts of prey is impure in itself; it makes a small quantity of water impure, so hadath may not be removed with it.

Maliki

Water left over by a dog is pure and valid for purification, though the vessel is washed seven times as an act of worship; that of swine and beasts of prey is pure but disliked.

Shāfiʿī

The leftover water of a dog and a pig is severely impure and renders a small quantity of water impure; the vessel is washed seven times, one of them with earth. The leftover water of the remaining predators is pure, since they are pure in themselves.

Hanbali

Water left over by dogs, swine, and beasts of prey is impure and makes a small quantity impure, so purification with it is invalid; a dog's vessel is washed seven times, once with earth.
