Answer

In Jain practice, boiled water is generally used only within a limited time after boiling.

If you boiled the water at 9:00 AM, then traditionally:

• In daytime: it may be used for about one prahar, commonly understood as approximately 3 hours.
• So, water boiled at 9:00 AM should ideally be consumed by around 12:00 noon.

Explanation

The purpose of boiling water in Jain Dharma is to reduce harm to living beings in water. After some time, new subtle life forms may begin to develop again, so boiled water is not considered suitable indefinitely.

Takeaway

If boiled at 9:00 AM, drink it by 12:00 noon according to the commonly followed Jain discipline. For stricter observance, follow the guidance of your Guru or local Jain tradition.
