I have bought a used futon/couch from someone who had a big dog in his house. Is the foam and the frame/handle of the futon is najis? How to clean it?

Answer
The saliva and perspiration of a dog is Najis [impure]. In the above case, one does not know whether the dog has soiled the futon or not. As a matter of precaution, wash or wipe the Futon.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
