Taharah (Purity) Facilitation
Assesses the provision of clean, accessible, safe, and well-maintained ablution facilities for all stakeholders. Fulfilling this foundational requirement of Taharah upholds human dignity (karamah al-insan) and enables worship, reflecting a commitment to preserving faith (hifz al-din). It also adheres to the principle of 'no harm' (la darar wa la dirar) by ensuring facilities are safe and hygienic.

Level 2: Developing
Ablution facilities are consistently clean and functional. A defined cleaning and maintenance schedule is in place and followed. Basic supplies are regularly restocked.
Level 3: Established
The organization actively manages facility quality through regular inspections and a formal feedback system. Accessibility for individuals with disabilities is addressed according to local standards.
Level 4: Advanced
Facility management is proactive and data-informed. The organization uses stakeholder feedback and usage data to optimize cleaning schedules, supply management, and user experience. Inclusivity is enhanced with features like family-friendly facilities.
Level 5: Optimizing
The organization is a leader in Taharah facilitation, integrating principles of Iḥsān (excellence and beauty) and sustainability (e.g., water conservation) into facility design and operation. It sets benchmarks for others and creates a spiritually uplifting environment that enhances the dignity and experience of worship.
Organisation Types
By Organisation Size
| Size | Applicability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | partial | Strict SLAs (e.g., 2h peak response) and formal TMV servicing may be disproportionate or managed by landlords; focus is on basic hygiene, safe water, and informal cleaning routines. |
| Small | partial | Core safety (Legionella) and daily cleaning apply, but strict 2-hour fault SLAs and formal signed logs may be scaled down for volunteer-led teams. |
| Medium | full | |
| Large | full | |
| Major | full |
