Purity: Ruling on Water That Touches Gums Affected by Internal Bleeding

English:

Question #285:

I am suffering from a gum disease and in the doctor’s opinion I must constantly massage it. But doing so leads to parts of the gums turning black and it looks as if blood has collected inside them. Is the water that enters the mouth and is spitted out from the mouth after passing over these parts considered najis?

Answer #285:

It is considered pure.
