Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English)

It seems most WP:RS use the English "purity" when discussing Ritual purity in Islam. There's a second problem too. The term taharah exists in both Arabic/Quran Hebrew/Bible Aramaic/Talmud. The hits in Google Scholar are about 60-40 to Judaism.

This looks like a case for a rename for both WP:EN and WP:IRS and thirdly disambiguation reasons. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:50, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

TaharahRitual purity in Islam for three reasons (i)Wikipedia:naming conventions (use English), (ii) WP:IRS per Google Scholar] hits etc., (iii) disambiguation from same term taharah in Hebrew. NB: Requested move for tumah and taharah to Ritual purity in Judaism proposed separately, on similar 3 reasons, but to be weighed on own merits. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:23, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Islamic hygienical jurisprudence into Ritual purity in Islam

Involves the same set of rules. Would work better as one article IMO. Artoria2e5 🌉 21:38, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Support: Ritual purity in Islam is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here and the overlap is too great for it to make sense for these two articles to be kept separate. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Ritual purity in Islam

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Ritual purity in Islam's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
