Chapter 8: Mutahhiraat II
Let’s look at the rest of the Mutahhiraat. These may sound more complicated but are not that
difficult to understand.
7. ISTAHALA (Chemical Change)
This is when a najis thing changes to the extent that its original form changes, then it will become
tahir. For example, when a najis stick burns to ashes or when a dead dog changes into earth.
Najis wood burning
Tahir ashes
8. INQUILAB
This is similar to Istahala where the shape and form change. In Inquilab, it is the properties that
change. Inquilab for example occurs when wine turns into vinegar (due to evaporation of 2/3 of its
contents).
Najis wine
Tahir Vinegar
9. INTIKAL
It means to change place. When a najaasat is put into contact with a tahir thing, the najaasat also
becomes tahir. For example, when a mosquito sucks the blood of a human being, after a gap of
time, when the blood becomes the mosquito’s blood, it becomes clean.
