It is necessary to know what those impurities and filths are. Filth is such a thing which is impure itself and makes whatever it touches also becomes impure. It can never become pure. Some things are pure by their own nature, but after touching some filth, they become impure themselves. These things can become pure again.

It is the duty of the parents to inform their children regarding matters of tahirat (purity). If they need any help in explaining, they should read our book "Kashaful Ahkam". Rules of wudhu Before we can explain the rules of namaz (prayer), we must first explain those things which are compulsory to do before the prayer can be performed. The first thing is tahirat (cleanliness). When you go for prayer, your body, dress, and the place where you will perform your prayers must be clean.

After tahirat, the second most important thing is wudhu (ablution). The following are compulsory for performing wudhu: Niyyat (intention): There is a niyyat (intention) for wudhu the same way there is a niyyat for all other aspects of religion. Niyyat (intention) is related to one s heart. It is not compulsory to say the words out loud. It is enough to make one s intention in one s heart.

You should make this intention before performing wudhu: " I am doing wudhu for removing any impurity and to make my pr ayer mubah. W ajib qurbatan illallah". Water for wudhu must be tahir (pure). It should not be mixed with anything which will change its color or taste. However, if the color and the taste of water changes on its own, then you can do wudhu with this type of water. If pure water is available, then you cannot do wudhu with water whose color has changed on its own.

You should be the owner of the water. It should not be usurped from another. If you are not the owner, then you must obtain the permission of the owner before using it. 4 . You should be the owner of the place in which you are performing wudhu. It should not be usurped from another.
