Water; Its Purity and Impurity

وَ سُئِلَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ غَدِيرٍ فِيهِ جِيفَةٌ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ اَلْمَاءُ قَاهِراً لَهَا لاَ تُوجَدُ اَلرِّيحُ مِنْهُ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَ اِغْتَسِلْ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about a pond with a dead animal in it. Imam عليه السلام said: "If the water overpowers it so that no odor is detectable, then perform ablution and ghusl with it”.
