Riding donkeys does not make clothes impure

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. In our region, we still ride donkeys. May Allah prolong your life. Does that affect the purity of our clothes and bodies? And is it permissible for us to pray even if we have not renewed our wudu'? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, and riding donkeys does not make clothes impure. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rode a donkey. The Companions used to ride donkeys, and Muslims continue to ride them. It was not mentioned that they used to wash their clothes because of that. So it is beyond doubt among Muslims that riding donkeys, loading them, and touching them—none of that makes clothes impure, nor does it make hands impure. Yes.
