The Degree Of Filth That Is Excused

7/29/2019 Fiqh 39

3/6

Regarding heavy filth, the size of a dirham is excused. Light filth which has

afflicted less than one quarter of one's dress or body, is excused.

Likewise, the specks of urine such as that of the head of the pin are excused.

If a bed or soil that has previously been stained by filth, becomes wet

because of the sweat of one who slept on it or because of one's wet feet

upon the soil, and as a result the trace of filth appears on the body or feet,

then both are regarded as impure.

If the trace of filth does not appear on the body or feet, then they are not

regarded as impure.

Likewise, a dry clean cloth does not become impure when wrapped in a filthy damp

cloth which does not drip when it is squeezed.

A wet cloth does not become impure if it is spread out on dry unclean soil and the

earth has become damp through the wetness of the cloth.

Furthermore a cloth does not become impure if it has been struck by a wind that

has blown over some filth, unless the filth becomes visible on the clothes.

Purification Of The Filth

7/29/2019 Fiqh 39

6/6

Visible filth is purified by removing the actual filth itself even if this is achieved bywashing it once. This is the correct view.

If its removal is difficult, there is no harm if some trace remains.

If the filth is invisible, it is to be washed three times and wrung after each wash.
