Summary
Swimming pool water mixed with menstrual blood is ruled mutanajjis (contaminated) if its volume is less than two qullah, which is about 200 litres. If the volume reaches two qullah or more, the water remains pure as long as its smell, colour and taste do not change. If the blood alters one or all three of these properties, the water is ruled mutanajjis even when its volume is close to two qullah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Status air kolam renang yang bercampur dengan haid dianggap air suci sekiranya isi padu air mencapai 2 kolah dengan syarat tiada kesan bau, warna atau rasa.
