Q & A

What is the concept of *Taharoh* in Islam?

In Islam, *Taharoh* refers to the process of purification, which includes removing impurity (*najis*) and performing ablution (wudu) to cleanse oneself before engaging in acts of worship like prayer (salah).

What are the different types of water mentioned in the script?

The script discusses four types of water: 1) *Mutlaq* water, which is pure and can be used for purification; 2) Water mixed with other substances but not altered in taste, color, or smell, still usable for purification; 3) Impure water (*najis*), which cannot be used for purification; and 4) *Musta'mal* water, which is used water and cannot be used for purification.

What is *Mutlaq* water, and what is its significance?

*Mutlaq* water is pure water that is free from impurities and can be used for purification. Examples include rainwater, seawater, and well water, all of which can cleanse a person for acts of worship.

What happens if water becomes mixed with another substance, such as coffee or tea?

When water becomes mixed with substances like coffee or tea, it changes in taste, smell, or color. If any of these characteristics are altered, the water no longer retains its ability to purify and cannot be used for purification purposes.

What is the difference between *Musta'mal* water and pure water?

*Musta'mal* water is water that has already been used for purification (such as during wudu) and cannot be reused for further purification. Pure water, on the other hand, has not been used and is still suitable for cleansing.
