The ruling on the damage of a woolen garment if the laundry owner washes it with water while its owner intended steam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. He gave it to the washer. If a man gave his woolen garment to the washer and said, "Wash it," and he washed it, and it shrank. It is obligatory for a woolen garment to be washed with steam. A discrepancy occurred from two sides. From the side of the garment's owner, he told Zayd to use steam, and the washer did not ask whether this is something that is ruined by water or by steam?
The Shaykh : This returns to custom. If it is customary that wool is washed with steam, and he washed it with water, then he is liable, whether he specified it or not. But what I know is that some wool is washed with steam and some with water. If some is washed with water, the owner of the garment must specify that it is to be washed with steam. Yes.
