Ni kujitakasa kwa kufanya Wudhu (udhu), Ghusl (kuoga kamili) au Tayammum, ambayo ni mbadala wa hizo mbili za kwanza.

Kuna aina tatu za maji.

There are three types of water.

1. Maji ambayo ni safi yenyewe na yanaweza kutumika kwa kutawadha na kutakasa

1. Water which is clean itself and can be used for cleansing

2. Maji ambayo ni safi yenyewe lakini hayawezi kutumika kwa ajili ya kutawadha au kuoga (kusafisha)

2. Water which is clean itself but cannot be used for cleansing

3. Maji yaliyochafuliwa

3. Water which is polluted

Aina zote za mvua na maji ya chemchemi, ambayo hayajabadilika sifa zake zozote kwa sababu ya kuchanganywa na kitu chochote kinachoweza kuyachafua. Kama maji ya bahari, maji ya mto, maji ya barafu, maji ya theluji na maji mengine yanayofanana na hayo.

All types of rain and spring-water, which have not changed any of their qualities1 because of having been mixed with something that can pollute them. Like seawater, river-water, ice-water, snow-water and similar water.

Maji ambayo sifa zake zimebadilika zote au baadhi yake kwa sababu ya kuchanganywa na kitu ambacho hakiwezi kuyachafua maji, ni ya aina tano.

Water, which has changed any or all of its qualities because of having been mixed with something that cannot pollute it, is of five types.

1. Maji ambayo yamebadilika kwa sababu ya kutuama kwa muda mrefu, au kwa sababu ni mahali pa kuzaliana kwa samaki na vyura.

1. Water that has changed because of its being stagnant for a long period or due to its being birth place of fish and frogs.

2. Maji ambayo yamebadilika kwa sababu ya mahali yalipotuama, njia ambayo yanapita, au kwa kuchanganywa na udongo au chumvi.

2. Water which has changed because of the place where it is standing, the channel it flows through or having been mixed with clay or salt.

3. Maji ambayo yamebadilika kwa sababu ya kuchanganyika na kitu ambacho haiwezekani kukiepuka, kama majani ya mti yanayoanguka majini kwa upepo.

3. Water that has changed because of having been mixed with something impossible to avoid it, like the leaves of tree which fall on water through wind.

4. Maji ambayo rangi yake imebadilika kwa sababu ya kitu kilichopakwa karibu nayo, kama lami kwa mfano.

4. Water that has changed due to the colour of port which has been painted, tar for instance.

5. Maji yaliyobadilika kwa sababu ya najisi iliyo karibu nayo. Kwa mfano, maiti inayonuka iliyolala karibu na maji, na maji yakabadilika ubora wake kutokana na harufu yake kuchanganyika nayo kupitia upepo. Au maji yaliyobadilika kwa kuchanganyika na kitu kisichoweza kutenganishwa nayo, kama mafuta au mafuta ya wanyama.

5. Water which has changed because of the impurity that is laying nearby. A stinking corpse for instance, laying next to water and water changes its quality due to getting mixed with odour through wind. Or water that has changed because of getting mixed with something which cannot be separated such as oil or fat.

Kuna aina tatu za maji ambayo ni safi yenyewe lakini hayawezi kutumiwa kwa kutakasa.

There are three types of water which are clean themselves but they cannot be used for cleansing.

1. Maji ambayo yamebadilika kabisa kwa sababu yamechanganywa na kitu safi ambacho si sehemu ya asili ya maji wala si kitu kilichokuwa karibu nayo tu, kama vile sukari na asali.

1. Water which has changed completely because of having been mixed with something pure which is not an integral part of water nor is it laying nearby, like sugar and honey.

2. Kiasi kidogo cha maji ambayo tayari yametumika kwa kujitwaharisha.

2. Little quantity of water that has already been used for cleansing.

3. Maji yaliyotolewa kutoka kwenye mti wowote kwa kuchujwa, kuchemshwa au kwa njia nyingine yoyote inayofanana, kama vile maji ya waridi na maji ya nazi.

3. Water that has been extracted from any tree by rinsing, boiling or any similar method, such as rose and coconut-water.

Maji yaliyochafuliwa ni ya aina mbili.

Polluted water is of two types.

1. Maji ambayo yamebadilika mojawapo ya sifa zake kwa sababu ya kuangukiwa na kitu najisi ndani yake, iwe najisi hiyo ni kidogo au nyingi.

1. Water which has changed any of its qualities because of falling something impure into it, whether the impurity is in little or large quantity.

2. Maji ambayo ni kiasi kidogo yatanajisika endapo kitu kisafi kitaanguka ndani yake, hata kama maji hayajabadilika katika sifa zake zozote.

2. Water which is little in quantity will be polluted when something impure falls into it, even if water has not changed any of its qualities.
