The Ruling on Removing the Trace of Impurity from Clothing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes. The questioner, may Allah grant you success, asks: What is the ruling if impurity falls on clothing and then its trace disappears from the clothing? Is it necessary to wash it?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is necessary to wash the impurity. If it falls on the garment or the body, it is not sufficient for its appearance to disappear from the place; rather, it must be washed, because Allah has made water a means of purification, and impurities are not purified except with water. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Anfal 8:11] [Al-Furqan 25:48] So the substance for purifying impurities is water, and it is necessary to wash the place where the impurity was.

Allah the Exalted said:
sent down upon you from the sky, rain by which to purify you
وَيُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم بِهِand We send down from the sky pure water
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً طَهُورًا
