Purifying Clothes from Impurity in Automatic Washing Machines
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! This questioner, Abu Talib, asks: How is the purification of clothes from impurity achieved? We now put these clothes in the washing machines found on the streets. Do the clothes become pure in the wash?
Answer:
These washing machines do not immerse the clothes in water; rather, they wash them with steam only. The effect of the impurity, whether in sight, color, or smell, is removed, but the precaution is to wash them before you send them to the washing machines. You wash only the impurity, not the entire garment, but rather you wash the place of the impurity until it is removed, and then you send them to the washing machines. This is the precaution and the most complete way. Yes.
