Question

On an item of clothing one wears there are some bloodstains. The piece of clothing is washed in the washing machine but the bloodstains are not removed. Would the item of clothing be considered Paak and could Salaat be offered by wearing such an item?

Answer

Once the body matter of the impurity is removed after having washed the item, it will be considered Paak (pure) and valid for Salaat purposes. Any stain or mark remaining thereafter which persists and does not come out despite washing vigorously will not render the item as impure.
