Rules Regarding Waters

47. Mixed water, whose meaning has been explained, does not make any Najis thing Pak, and Ghusl or Wudhu by it is void.

5. Well Water

45. The water of a well which springs forth from the earth, although its quantity may be less than a Kurr, does not become Najis owing to something Najis falling in it, unless its colour, smell, or taste changes. However, it is recommended that, in the event of certain Najasat falling in it, a quantity of water should be drawn from the well. Details about this quantity are given in the relevant books.

4. Rain Water

3. Running Water

28. Running water is the water which springs forth from the earth and then flows, like the water of a spring or a canal.

29. The flowing or running water, even if it is less than Kurr, does not become Najis upon contact with any Najasat, unless its smell, colour, or taste changes due to that Najasat.

2. Under-Kurr Water (Qaleel)

25. Under-Kurr water means water which does not spring forth from the earth, and its quantity is less than a Kurr.

26. If under-Kurr water is poured on something which is Najis, or if a Najis thing contacts it, it becomes Najis. But, if such water is poured with force on a Najis object, only that part which contacts it will be Najis, and the water which has not reached the Najis object, will be Pak.
