Muḍāf water (Arabic: الماء المضاف), adulterated water or mixed water, is a kind of water to which something was added and thus is not pure in a way that it is no longer called water by common people. Extremely muddy water, rosewater and fruit juice are some examples of mudaf water. The opposite of mudaf water is mutlaq water (unadulterated water) which is discussed in the chapter of tahara (purity) in Shi'a jurisprudential books. Wudu and ghusl with mudaf water is not valid and it cannot clean (make tahir) what has become mutanajjis.

Rulings

  • Mudaf water - provided that its origin is tahir - is tahir (clean); but it cannot clean what has become mutanajjis. Likewise, wudu and ghusl with mudaf water is invalid.
  • If water was mudaf before and now it is not known whether it has become mutlaq, the rulings of mudaf water are applied to it.
  • Mudaf water, though a lot, becomes mutanajjis if it comes into contact with najis, though very little. However, if mudaf water is poured on najis, what remains in the container and considered above najis is tahir.[1]
  • Some Shi'a Marja's believe that mudaf water which is najis becomes tahir if it turns to (water) vapor and the water obtained through evaporation is tahir, too.
  • If Najis Mudaf water is mixed with kurr or Running water in a way that it is no longer called mudaf water, it becomes tahir; although in this process mudaf water turns into kurr or runnig water and there will be nothing left called mudaf water.[2]
