Q: What is the preponderant ruling on water left over by mules, donkeys, beasts and birds of prey? (Part No. 5; Page No. 380)

A: All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions. The preponderant opinion is that water left over by mules, domestic donkeys, beasts of preys such as wolves, tigers and lions, and birds of prey such as hawks and kites is Tahir (pure). That is what Abu Muhammad ibn Qudamah (may Allah be merciful to him) verified in [Al-Mughny], and it is the opinion supported by Shar‘y (Islamic legal) evidence.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
