with water, so it becomes pure by it, like a solid substance. The method of purifying it is by placing it in a large amount of water and stirring it until the water touches all of its parts, then leaving it until it rises above the water and is then retrieved. If one leaves it in a jar, pours water over it, stirs it with the water, and provides it with a spout from which the water exits, it is permissible.

Also, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked about a mouse that dies in ghee, and he said: "If it is solid, cast it out and what is around it, and if it is fluid, do not go near it," recorded by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, and its chain of narration is according to the criteria of the two Sahihs.

The definition of a solid (jamid) into which the impurity does not spread to all of its parts is that which is cohesive and possesses a strength that prevents the transfer of the impurity from the place where the impurity fell to what is other than it.
