Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We work at the sewage treatment plant. In the laboratory, we analyze the sewage water, and some of it may fall on our clothes and bodies. Is it obligatory for us to wash our clothes and our hands?
Answer:
Make specific clothes for the work, other than the clothes you wear for prayer. Since this matter is continuous and permanent, and you work with it, when you want to enter the workplace, put on specific clothes. When you leave, take them off and put on pure clothes, and then pray.
