Summary
Light impurity (mukhaffafah) refers to the urine of a baby boy under two years old who has not eaten any filling food besides milk. If any of these conditions is not met, the urine falls under medium impurity (mutawassitah). It is cleaned by sprinkling water over the stain until it is fully covered, using more water than the urine, even if the water does not flow.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Najis Mukhaffafah ialah najis yang ringan. Ia dinamakan sedemikian kerana Allah telah memberi keringanan pada hukumnya.
