Mules that are domesticated donkeys are impure [Part 32]

Mules that are domesticated donkeys are impure. [end of text]

Meaning, mules that are born from a hybrid of domesticated donkeys are also impure.

However, if the mule is born from a wild donkey then the mule is pure.

This means, if the domesticated donkey drinks from a vessel or eats from a stockpile of food, then whatever it contaminates is impure. This is the view of the Madhab.

However, there is another view which is that the leftover of pure domesticated animals are pure. They argued that the ruling connected to domesticated animals is to create ease. 
Furthermore, some of the evidences used by those who say that such animals are impure sometimes contradict one another.
