Are tears from watery eyes impure?

Q: Are tears from a watery eyes impure? I also have blepharitis which is said to cause watery eyes. But mainly my eyes feel dry and when I blink they water or sometimes tears come out. I’m not sure if it’s najis because when my eyes are dry they feel like there burning when I close and blink.

A: If the water is coming out of the eye due to an allergy, then the water will be regarded as impure.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
