Removing Ritual Impurity from Clothing with Steam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: There is clothing that is only washed with steam. Is steam sufficient for removing ritual impurity?
The Shaykh:
No. If there is ritual impurity on it, it must be washed with water. Steam is not sufficient; it must be washed with water, because steam is used with cleaning agents, and that is not a substitute for water.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Steam is for dirt. Steam is used to remove dirt, but for removing ritual impurity, washing is required. Yes.
