The questioner : What is the method for purifying large mattresses from ritual impurity, and is wringing during the washing of the impurity considered valid after removing its substance?
The Shaykh : The method for washing large mattresses from ritual impurity is to first remove the substance of the impurity if it has a physical form. If it is solid, one removes it; if it is liquid, such as urine, one dries it up with a sponge until it is extracted. Then, water is poured over it until one believes that its effect has disappeared or the impurity has been removed. In the case of urine, this is achieved by washing it two or three times.
As for wringing, it is not obligatory unless the removal of the impurity depends on it. For example, if the impurity has penetrated inside the item being washed and it is not possible to clean the inside except by wringing, then it must be wrung.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
