Purifying Najasah (ritual impurity) with Other Than Water and with Steam

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is Abu 'Abdullah. He says: Regarding najasah (ritual impurity), is it purified with other than water? And is the steam used in our current time to wash clothes and garments a purifier for it?

Answer:
Najasah (ritual impurity) is not purified except with water that removes its effect from the garment or from anything else. If the steam is accompanied by pure water and the najasah (ritual impurity) is removed by it, and no color, taste, or smell remains, then it is purified by that. As for mere steam without water, this does not purify. Yes.
