Question
Hello, Regarding the section of the Red Heifer, does the one who carries the water for sprinkling become impure? And is it only in exceptional cases that the one who purifies the impure does not become impure?
Answer
Hello
Only the one who touches or carries the sprinkling water without the purpose of sprinkling becomes impure. And only before they have been used to sprinkle on the impure.
However, the one who touches or carries for the purpose of sprinkling does not become impure.
Similarly, the one who touches or carries the sprinkling water after they have been used to purify the impure does not become impure.
