Chapter: Removing Impurities: Definition of Najaasah (Part 1)

Follow @AhleDhikr

-There is a difference between removing ritual impurities (الطهارة) and removing physical impurities (النجاسة).

-al-Khubth (الخبث) is whatever the Sharee’ah has a dislike for.

-Physical impurities or Najasah is of two types: that which is possible to clean and that which is impossible to clean, such as dogs and pigs.

Therefore, Nasajah is of three levels:

                -Extreme impurity (مغلظة)

                -Moderate impurity (متوسطة)

                -Light impurity (مخففة)

[ash-Sharh al-Mumti' 1/414]
