Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, can soap take the place of earth in purifying the impurity of a dog or a pig?
Answer:
No, no, it does not take the place of earth. Because earth has the property that Allah made it a substitute for water in removing ritual impurity. It is not like soap. If you performed dry ablution with soap, would that be valid? Would it remove the ritual impurity? No, it is not earth.
