Strike the earth a second time with the hands. Wipe the right arms with the left hands from the tips of the fingers until the upper end of the elbow.

6. Al-Hidayah states, "If it ate a rat then immediately drank the water, it is impure, unless it waited a while to wash its mouth with its saliva. The exception is according to Imaam Abu Hanifa RA. and Abu Yusuf. If there is a need for the water, the requirement is to pour out the water falls away. Ibnul Humam says that this is not according to Muhammed because according to him impurity is not removed except with water."

A: Any one of the two is fine.
NOTE: The leftover of a man is pure as long as he did not drink wine, or no blood flowed from his gums, or he did not vomit a mouth-full. In these cases his leftovers are impure until he rinses his mouth thrice or he swallows his saliva so many times that no impurity remains in his mouth and lips. 5
The leftover of a cat is impure if it ate a rat and immediately put its mouth in the water. If it does it after a while and cleaned its mouth with its saliva and the traces of the impurity are gone, then it is pure although Makruh. 6
