istijmār (cleansing with stones) in its proper place.

Nor does a human being—nor any creature that has no flowing blood (1)—become impure by dying.

The urine, droppings, and semen of animals whose flesh is lawful to eat, as well as human semen, sweat, and saliva, are pure. The same ruling applies to the water left in a vessel after a cat has drunk from it and to any creature that is, by nature, smaller than a cat.

Predatory land animals, birds larger than a cat, the domestic donkey and the mule that comes from it—together with their sweat and saliva—and every intoxicant are impure.
