NAJAASATE HAQEEQI is the NAJAASAT which CAN BE SEEN (External impurity) ea. urine, blood,
stool and wine.
•
NAJAASATE HUKMI is that Najaasat (impurity and filth) which cannot be seen, e.g.

HADATH: to be without WUDHU.

of MECCA. One must always keep one's chest towards the KA'BAH while performing Salaah..

The direction of the HOLY KA'BAH SHARIF is called the QIBLAH.
