وَطَاهِرٌ غَيْرُ مُطَهِّرٍ: وَهُوَ مَا اسْتُعْمِلَ لِرَفْعِ حَدَثٍ أَوْ لِقُرْبَةٍ

• Used water is pure in itself; it is not physically impure.
• However, it is not purifying for ritual impurity, so it is not reused to perform another Wudu or Ghusl.
• Water becomes used when it has been used on the body either:
◦ to remove ritual impurity (Raf' al-Hadath), or
◦ for an act of worship intended as devotion (Qurbah), such as renewing Wudu with the intention of worship.
