Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: If a dog’s saliva falls on clothing or on the body, do we wash this saliva with water seven times, the first of which with earth, or is it washed with soap?
Answer:
Yes, it is washed seven times, whether on clothing, on the body, or on a vessel, because the impurity of a dog is severe, as the scholars stated, and it is washed seven times. It is also rubbed with earth, and with soap, or tooth powder, or cleaning agents. They say these take the place of earth, but the correct view is that they do not take the place of earth, because earth has a property that is not found in anything else. Yes.
