Issue 104: Impure solids into which impurity can
not penetrate will be pure if the original impurity
is removed, and it is not necessary to wash them
or purify them with other purifiers (Mutahirat);
But in cases where there is a special way offered
by the sacred law of Islam to purify something
such as eating and drinking utensils, the urinary
outlet, the utensils licked by dogs and pigs or the
ones in which they drink water, the impure thing can not be purified by the mere removal of the original impurity.

Q106: Because of the application of chemical substances like chlorine, sometimes tap water looks white and milky and it becomes clear after a while. What is the verdict on performing ablutions with it? Is it considered Mudhaf water?

A: This water is Mutlaq water because if it is taken to any one, they would say that they brought us some water, or if any one sees it, they would say that it is water, and given this quality, people would not say that they do not have water or water is not available. Furthermore, if one doubts about the water being Mutlaq, because it had been Mutlaq water before adding the substance, it is considered as Mutlaq water and it is not different from other Mutlaq waters.
