If it is large in quantity, what is around it is taken, like ghee.

Ibn Aqil said: The limit of a solid is that which, if its container is opened, its parts do not flow out.

The manifest view of what we narrated from Ahmad contradicts this; for dushab barely reaches this state, and the ghee of the Hijaz barely reaches it either. The purpose of solidity is that the impurity does not spread (further), and this is achieved by what we have mentioned, so it should be limited to that.

Section: If dough or similar substances become impure, there is no way to purify them because they cannot be washed. Likewise, if sesame or any grains are soaked in impure water until they swell and become wet, they do not become pure. Ahmad was asked about sesame that was soaked in a tighar (washing basin), and a mouse fell into it and died. He said: "Nothing of it should be utilized." It was said to him: "Should it be washed repeatedly until that water is gone?" He said: "Has it not already become wet from that water? It will not be cleaned from it even if it is washed."

Once this is established, Ahmad said regarding the dough and sesame: "It should be fed to the nawadih (water-carrying camels), and not fed to that which is eaten." Meaning, that which is eaten soon.

Mujahid, Ata, al-Thawri, and Abu Ubayd said: It should be fed to chickens.

Malik and al-Shafi'i said: It should be fed to livestock.

Ibn al-Mundhir said: It should not be fed to anything, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was asked about the fats of carrion, whether ships may be coated with them, hides may be greased with them, and people may use them for lighting. He said: "No, it is haram," agreed upon. And this is in its meaning.
