The Use of Water Mixed with Watermelon Juice

Question
What is the ruling on using water that has been mixed with watermelon juice?
Answer
Watermelon juice differs from pure water only in taste. If this characteristic appears in it, it becomes pure but not purifying for ritual impurity. It is permissible to remove actual impurity with it, but it is not permissible to perform ablution or bathing with it. Refer to: Maraki al-Falah, pp. 26-27, and the commentary of al-Tahawi on Maraki, pp. 19-20, and Bada'i al-Sana'i, 1/16, and Al-Ikhtiyar, 1/20, and Al-Lubab, 1/18-19, and Al-Hadiyya al-Alaiyya, pp. 39-40.
