Summary
Urine that has dried and leaves no visible trace or properties (hukmiyyah impurity) is purified by flowing water over it. If the water is small in quantity, the water must be poured over the impurity and not the other way around. If the urine leaves its substance or properties, these must first be removed. If only the smell or only the colour remains and is hard to remove, it is considered clean, but if smell and colour remain together, or the taste, it must be washed with aids such as soap.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sekiranya air kencing yang terdapat di atas tilam telah kering serta tidak dilihat padanya kesan atau sifat-sifatnya, maka bagi mensucikannya cukup dengan hanya mengalirkan air padanya.
