Qalil Water Not Becoming Impure as Soon as It Contacts Impurity

Shiite jurists have two views about qalil water which has contacted an impurity but has not changed. The famous view is that such a water becomes impure and also makes other things impure. However, another group of jurists, mostly later jurists, have held that this type of water does not become impure. Having investigated both views along with arguments and criticism, the authors have tried to propose a new solution to the problem through an approach based on human’s nature and intellect. They have finally proved that this type of water is not impure and does not make other things impure but what can be inferred from the arguments is that it is highly undesirable to use such a water.
