Summary
Khabath (impurity) lexically is whatever is disliked for baseness, sensible or not; technically it is the very substance of impurity. 1 2 It is distinguished from rijs (filth) and dans (dirt). 2 The jurists agree that removing impurity is commanded and differ on whether it is obligatory; the Hanafis, Shafiis and Hanbalis make its removal a condition of valid prayer except what is excused, while the Malikis have two views, sunna or obligation when one remembers and is able. 2 3 Four substances are agreed to be impurity: carrion of a land animal with blood, pig flesh, flowing blood, and a man's urine and dung. 3
