Explanation of quantity of dirham
Here is an explanation of what is meant by Najāsat-e-Ghalīẓaĥ being more, less or equal to the quantity of dirham.
In case Najāsat-e-Ghalīẓaĥ is thick like stool, dung etc., one dirham refers to the mass equal to 4.50 Masha (i.e. 4.374 gm) in weight. Therefore, thick Najāsat-e-Ghalīẓaĥ being more or less than one dirham implies that it is more or less than 4.50 Masha in weight. If Najāsat-e-Ghalīẓaĥ is thin like urine etc., one dirham refers to particular dimension which can be ascertained in the following way. Keep the palm flat and spread it widely, then pour water onto it slowly till no more water could stay within it. Now the dimension of the spread of this water refers to a dirham.

If Najāsat-e-Ghalīẓaĥ has soiled different parts of the body or the cloth, and no part is soiled with it equal to one dirham but it is collectively equal to one dirham (i.e. the total amount of impurity from all parts is equal to one dirham), then it will be considered as equal to one dirham. And if it is more than one
