Purity of Urine and Feces of Animals Which are Halal to Eat [Part 23]

Animals which are allowed to be eaten are pure, so is their urine and faeces [end of text from Zaad al-Mutaqni’].

Al-Uthaymeen said such animals include camels, cows, sheep, goats, rabbits etc.

The evidence for this includes:

-The Prophet commanded the ‘Urayniyoon to benefit from camel urine and milk and didn’t command them to wash their utensils after drinking. If their urine was impure, he would have commanded them to wash it.

-The Prophet allowed us to pray in the goat pens where urine and feces of the animal are dense.
-A principle of ‘al-Baraa al-Usliyyah’ (i.e. in origin, there is no command). So whoever claims them to be impure would need to present evidence otherwise they remain pure.

As for those who state that all forms of urine and feces are impure because of the Hadith of the person who will be punished in the grave because he didn’t protect himself from urine.
In response we say that urine refers to his own urine, as some of the narrations of different wordings state.


ash-Sharh al-Mumti, 1/450-453
