The amount of water that is not affected by Najasah

Q 2: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When there is enough water to fill two pitchers, it bears no Najasah (ritual impurity). Does this Hadith mean that if the water is enough to fill two pitchers and then a large quantity of Najasah falls into it, it would not be Najis (ritually impure)? Please explain. A: The Hadith stated in the question means that if the amount of water is enough to fill two pitchers or more, it will not be affected by Najasah which usually falls into it, because it will disappear in the large quantity of water. Thus, water will not be affected by Najasah unless its color, taste, or smell changes because of this (Part No. 4; Page No. 23

Thus, water will not be affected by Najasah unless its color, taste, or smell changes because of this (Part No. 4; Page No. 23) Najasah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not mean that this water will never become Najis, because if the color, smell, or taste of pure water changes due to the falling of Najasah into it, it will become Najis even if it is a large quantity. Scholars have unanimously agreed on this opinion.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
