Question 30) - Some wells have a strong spring (outflow). As soon as water is taken out, it refills from the bottom. How should it be purified?

A: When the amount which was in it has been extracted, it is purified. The word of two just men who have insight in water will be regarded as to the amount.

It is narrated from Imaam Muhammed bin al-Hasan RA. companion of Imaam Abu Hanifa, RA may Allaah's mercy be upon them both, that 200-300 buckets should be taken from such as well.

NOTE: When a well has been declared purified, whether some or all the water had to be removed, the bucket, rope, hand of the extractor, the walls and earth of the well are all considered pure. There is no need to rewash any of these things.

NOTE: The extraction of the water is only valid after the impurity has first been removed. Even if all the water has been removed but the impurity was still there, it is not pure.
