Mesorat%20hashas for Parah 9:5

מֵי חַטָּאת שֶׁנִּפְסְלוּ, לֹא יְגַבְּלֵם בְּטִיט, שֶׁלֹּא יַעֲשֵׂם תַּקָּלָה לַאֲחֵרִים. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בָּטְלוּ. פָּרָה שֶׁשָּׁתָת מֵי חַטָּאת, בְּשָׂרָהּ טָמֵא מֵעֵת לְעֵת. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בָּטְלוּ בְמֵעֶיהָ:

<i>Chatat</i> waters which were invalidated should not be mixed with plaster, lest they be to be a mishap for others [since one who would touch the mixture would become impure]; Rabbi Yehuda says: They [the waters] are nullified [and no longer cause impurity once they are mixed in]. A cow that drank the <i>chatat</i> waters, its meat is ritually impure [only] between that time and the [corresponding] time [i.e. if the slaughtering occurred within twenty-four hours of the drinking, the meat is impure]. Rabbi Yehuda says: They [the waters] are nullified in her intestines [and no longer cause impurity, even if the slaughtering occurred within twenty-four hours of drinking].
