Our evidence is that the original state is [the purity of the water] (56), and the water touching the place of impurity is doubtful; for the exit point closes when the animal falls into the water, so certainty is not removed by doubt.
Section: Every animal's skin, hair, sweat, tears, and saliva have the same status as its leftover water regarding purity and impurity; because the status of impurity is only established in the leftover water at the place that [became impure by coming into contact with] (57) the animal's saliva and body. If it were pure, its leftover water would be pure, and if it were impure, its leftover water would be impure.
8 - Issue: He said: (And every vessel in which an impurity has entered, from the lapping of a dog, or urine, or otherwise, it must be washed seven times, one of which is with earth).
Impurity is divided into two categories:
The first is the impurity of a dog, a pig, and whatever is produced from them. There is no disagreement within the school that it is mandatory to wash it seven times, one of which is with earth, and this is the position of al-Shafi'i.
It is related from Ahmad that it must be washed eight times, one of which is with earth. This was reported from al-Hasan, based on the hadith of 'Abd Allah ibn al-Mughaffal, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If a dog laps from a vessel, wash it seven times and scour it the eighth time with earth." Narrated by Muslim (1).
The first narration is more correct (2), and this hadith is interpreted as counting the earth as an eighth because
(56) In M: "purity". (57) In M: "becomes impure by coming into contact with it". (1) In: Chapter on the ruling of a dog's lapping, from the Book of Purity. Sahih Muslim 1/235. It was similarly reported by Abu Dawud, in: Chapter on performing ablution with the leftover water of a dog, from the Book of Purity. Sunan Abi Dawud 1/18. And al-Nasa'i, in: Chapter on scouring the vessel from which a dog has lapped with earth, from the Book of Purity. Al-Mujtaba 1/47. And Ibn Majah, in: Chapter on washing a vessel from a dog's lapping, from the Book of Purity. Sunan Ibn Majah 1/130. And al-Darimi, in: Chapter on a dog's lapping, from the Book of Ablution. Sunan al-Darimi 1/188. And Imam Ahmad, in: Al-Musnad 4/86, 5/56. With the wording "the first of them with earth," it was reported by al-Tirmidhi, in: Chapter on what has been said regarding a dog's leftover water, from the Chapters of Purity. 'Aridat al-Ahwadhi 1/133. And al-Nasa'i, in: Chapter on scouring a vessel with earth from a dog's lapping into it. Al-Mujtaba min al-Sunan 1/144, 145. (2) Preceded on page 17.
