How to remove ritual impurity if it falls on clothing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How do you advise someone who has ritual impurity on part of his clothing, while the rest is clean? Does he wash them all? Or does he wash each part separately?
Answer:
He washes only the place where the impurity is. If impurity touches his garment, he washes that spot, such as a drop of urine on the edge of his garment; he washes what was affected. Or a drop of blood from a woman’s menstruation or otherwise; she washes the spot where the drop fell, and the rest of the garment is pure.
The point is that he washes what affected the garment, whether urine or other impurity, and the rest of the garment is pure and contains nothing.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. If he washes the impure part along with the pure part, is there any harm in that?
The Shaykh: There is no blame on him, but it should not be due to obsessive doubts. If it is from the path of obsessive doubts, no. But if it is for the sake of cleanliness, because it is dirt and he wants to wash it all, there is nothing wrong with that.
As for excessive effort and obsessive doubts, as some people do, washing the entire garment because of obsessive doubts, that is not what is required. He washes only what affected the garment.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
