Cleaning oneself with tissues and the number of wipes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. If a person cleans himself using tissues, does this require him to use three tissues?
Answer:
The point is that the place is cleaned well. The intention is cleaning and removing the trace, and Allah knows best. If he removes it with three purifying wipes, even with a single stone, they say even with a single stone that has branches, meaning each branch serves the function of a stone. Likewise with tissues, if he removes it with three wipes, meaning he does not limit himself to two wipes or one wipe, it is necessary to have three wipes or more. If he removes it with three wipes on the tissues, that suffices, as this serves the function of the stones. Yes.
