Excrements of a Creature Like a Lizard

Question:

Assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh. Shaikh. I want to ask. What is ruling on black thing that look like a house lizard droppings/dung (فضلات الوزغ) if one take the opinion that house lizard have flowing blood (له نفس سائل) so his droppings is najis in that opinion?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

We are not aware of the reality of this thing; therefore, we cannot issue a Fatwa on the purity or impurity of its excrements.
Assuming that it has flowing blood, then its excrement is impure.

An-Natf fi al-Fatawa authored by Abul-Hasan as-Sughdi, from the Hanafi School of jurisprudence, reads:

Whatever has liquid blood, such as a mouse, a snake, a gecko and a hedgehog, its urine is impure.” [End of quote]

Allah knows best.
