Are tears from watery eyes impure?
Question
Are tears from a watery eyes impure? I also have blepharitis which is said to cause watery eyes. But mainly my eyes feel dry and when I blink they water or sometimes tears come out. I’m not sure if it’s najis because when my eyes are dry they feel like there burning when I close and blink.
Answer
If the water is coming out of the eye due to an allergy, then the water will be regarded as impure.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
