Issue 45...

Issue 45: A Najis utensil can also be washed in the following manner: • Kurr Water: Dipping it in and taking it out of the Kurr water once. • Qaleel Water: Fill the utensil with water, and empty it out and repeat this three times. One can also pour an amount of water in the dish/utensil three times, and after each pouring, shake the dish in such a way that the water reaches to all the Najis parts, and then empty it out (after every pouring, and shaking).

Issue 46: Rugs, clothing and items like these that absorb water, and that can be squeezed or wrung out can be made Tahir by using Qaleel Water (by the following method) that after each washing, the item must be squeezed so that the water that has absorbed in, is removed. This can also be done in any other method (that allows the water that has been absorbed to be removed), but if Kurr Water or Flowing Water is used, then it is not necessary to squeeze out the water.

The Ground Issue 47: If while walking, the bottom of the feet or the bottom of the shoe becomes Najis, then by walking or rubbing it on the ground, it once again becomes Tahir, with the condition that the najasat is removed. The Ground must be: • Tahir • Dry, according to Ihtiyat Wajib • (Made of) Dirt, Brick, Rock, and things like this.

Issue 48: If by walking or rubbing on the ground, the najasat on the bottom of the shoe or foot is removed, then it will become Tahir, but it is better that a minimum of 15 steps are walked. The Sun Issue 49: The sun (with the conditions mentioned below) will make the following things tahir: • Ground • Buildings and the things that are used in the buildings like the doors and windows. • Trees and plants.

Issue 50: With the following conditions, the sun is a purifier: • The Najis thing is wet, in such an amount that if it comes into contact with something else, then it will make that thing wet too. • By the rays of the sun, the Najis thing is dried; and if any wetness remains, then it will not be made Tahir.

●Things such as the clouds or a curtain should not prevent the sun from shining (onto the Najis item), unless it is so thin such that it does not prevent the sun from shining (onto the Najis item). • The sun itself dries the item such that it is not with the help of the wind that the item is dried. • While the sun is shining, there is no ‘Ayn Najasat on the item, therefore, if a najasat remains, it must be removed before having the sun shine on it.
