Q523 :I have read in a book that the stools and
urine of the Prophet were not impure. How far is this true?
A523 : Some people tend to ascribe certain things
which they consider as virtues to the Prophet, without having any sound
basis for them. The point you have raised is one such thing. Recently,
I answered a question on whether it is true that the Prophet had no
shadow. I said then that it was a false notion and that it neither gave
a distinction to the Prophet to have no shadow nor did it detract from
his honor and position to have a shadow. To say that Prophet’s urine
and stools were not impure is just an attempt to say that the Prophet
was unlike other human beings or to ascribe to him an air of holiness
which he was keen to dispel. Certainly, it is not true at all to
suggest that what he discharged as a human being was any different from
what is discharged by other people. He certainly washed his clothes
from any impurity and he was keen to purify himself every time he went
to the toilet. To suggest otherwise, is to deviate from the teachings
of the Prophet.
