Water; Its Purity and Impurity

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "The Children of Israel, if a drop of urine touched them, they would cut away the affected flesh with scissors. But Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Mighty and Exalted, has granted you vast leniency—wider than the space between the heavens and the earth—and has made water purifying for you. So, consider how you conduct yourselves (at removing impurities)”.
