AL-KAFI #1837: ADAKAH HINGUS KUCING NAJIS?
Is cat nasal mucus considered impure (najis)?
Short answer
Cat nasal mucus is ruled to be pure. Fluids that merely seep out of an animal without being collected and transformed in the stomach, such as saliva, sweat and nasal mucus, take the ruling of the animal they come from.

Summary
Cat nasal mucus is ruled to be pure. Fluids that merely seep out of an animal without being collected and transformed in the stomach, such as saliva, sweat and nasal mucus, take the ruling of the animal they come from. Since the cat is a pure animal, its mucus is pure. This differs from blood, urine, feces and vomit, which are impure.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Cecair hingus haiwan yang diyakini bukan keluar daripada perut dihukumkan suci mengikut hukum kategori haiwan.
