Washing impure clothes with pure clothes
Question
Assalamu alaikum,
Is it allowed to wash/soak najis cloths along with paak cloths? not in a washing machine, but with hands only
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Dear Brother,
If paak clothes are merely soaked with napaak clothes, but the clothes are washed separately, then the washed clothes will be paak.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
