The ruling on the removal of ritual impurity from clothing by drying in the sun

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner says: Urine fell on my garment, and I left the garment in the sun and air for several days. Is that sufficient for purification?

Answer:
If a garment is affected by the ritual impurity of urine or other impurities, no, the sun is not sufficient. It must be washed. The sun is not sufficient for the purification of the garment, the leg, or the ground. Rather, if it is on the ground, it must be saturated with water; you pour water on it. And if it is on the garment, it must be washed, rubbed, and squeezed until the effect of the urine and the like of impurities is removed. The sun is not sufficient.
