Water coming out of the eye due to an infection or wound

Q: I have scratched the inside of my eye, which is leading it to constantly tear up. Are these tears impure because my eye is sore when I close it and it gets teary and the tears have went on my bed.

A: If there is pain in the eye which is caused by an infection or wound, and thereafter water comes out of the eye, then the water will be napaak and the wudhu will break through it coming out from the eye.

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