WAYS AND MEANS TO PROVE IMPURITY
122. There are three ways of proving the impurity of something:(i) One should personally believe that something is impure. In case, however, one suspects that something is impure it is not necessary to avoid it. For example,
all sorts of people take the meals in restaurants or hotels, and among them
there are also some negligent persons who do not pay any heed to purity or impurity
of things, so until a person is sure that the food which has been brought for
him is impure, there is no harm in taking meals and refreshments in these restaurants,
hotels etc.(ii) The person m whose possession a thing is should say that it is impure.
For example, if the wife or servant of a man tells him that such and such utensil
is impure, it will be treated to be impure. (iii) If two just persons say about something that it is impure or one just
or one reliable person (even though he may not be just) says that it is impure,
it is necessary to avoid it. 123. If a person does not know whether a thing is pure or impure because of
his not knowing the legal position - for example, if he does not know whether
the excrement of a rat is pure or not - he should ask some one to enlighten
him on the subject. However, if un spite of knowing the legal position he is
doubtful whether or not a thing is pure - for example if he is doubtful whether
a thing is blood or not, or does not know whether it is the blood of a Mosquito
or of a human being - the thing is pure and it is not necessary to make investigation
or enquiry about it.124. An impure thing remain impure if one doubts about its having become pure
or not. However, if a person doubts as to whether a pure thing has become impure,
that thing remains pure and even if it is possible to inquire unto the matter
it is not necessary to conduct such investigation.125. If a person knows that out of the two vessels or two dresses, both of which
are used by him, one has become impure but cannot identify it he should refrain
from using both of them. However, if, for example, he does not know whether
it is his own dress which has become impure or the dress which is no longer
possessed by him and is the property of some other person, it is not necessary
that he should refrain from using his own dress.
