If we boil water at 9am then by what time can we drink it?
2
Answer
In Jain practice, if water is boiled at 9:00 AM, it is generally considered drinkable after it has cooled down naturally enough to drink.
So practically, you may drink it once it becomes comfortably warm or room temperature.
Explanation
Boiling water is done to reduce harm to living organisms in water. After boiling, it should be:
- Allowed to cool naturally
- Kept covered in a clean vessel
- Used within the accepted time limit followed in your tradition or household
Different Jain traditions and families may follow different rules about how long boiled water remains acceptable.
Takeaway
If boiled at 9:00 AM, you can drink it once it cools enough to drink, while following the time-limit rule taught by your Jain tradition, guru, or family practice.
