If a dog touches a person’s body or their clothes, is washing it once sufficient, or must the clothes and body be washed seven times?

The questioner : It is well known that if a dog licks a vessel, the vessel must be washed seven times, one of which is with soil. However, if a dog touches a person’s body or their clothes, is one wash sufficient, or must the clothes and body be washed seven times?

The Shaykh : First: if a dog touches a person’s clothes, this does not necessarily make the garment ritually impure, because the dog’s fur may be dry and not wet. However, if the fur is wet and the effect of the wetness appears on the man’s garment, then in this case, it is sufficient to wash the garment three times to remove all the ritual impurity.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
