Ruling on the Urine and Excretion of a Newborn Baby

Question

Is the urine and excretion of a newborn baby considered impure if the baby is breastfeeding from its mother and also consuming formula milk?

Answer 1

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.

His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):

Both are considered impure, and there is no difference between them and the urine and excrement of an adult in terms of their impurity.

We recommend reviewing Question 764 to learn about another ruling related to the urine of an infant.

May you be successful in all good.
