Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says that he has an illness in his anus, may Allah protect you, and he applies ointment to the opening of the anus. He says that some of this ointment ends up on his clothes. Does that make them ritually impure?
Answer:
If the intention is only the ointment, the ointment is pure; it is not something that comes out of the anus. The ointment is pure. But if he places it on the area of the medicine and the fat, and puts something protective on it to keep it from his clothes, that is fine. Yes.
