Primary text

There is no distinction in the ruling concerning impurity between a small amount (yaseer) and a large amount (katheer). This applies to all impurities, regardless of whether the small amount is discernible by sight (yudrikuhu al-taraf) or not. If an impurity contaminates water, the water takes on the ruling of that impurity because the contamination of the water originates from and is a derivative of the impurity that fell into it; the derivative follows the ruling of its origin.
