Washing an impure garment in a washing machine
Question
I slept wearing a loin cloth and experienced nocturnal emission. The impurity was in different places and I don’t know where exactly the impurity was. How should I wash my loin cloth? And if I use a washing machine, will 3 cycles make it Paak?
Answer
If the Napaak clothing is put into a washing machine and the impurity is washed off (with the clean water) to the extent that only clean water is emerging from the clothing, then the clothing will be considered as Paak even though the clothing was not squeezed thrice. [Re:- Kitaabun Nawaazil Pg.39 Vol.3]
However, it will be best to wash the Lungi thrice and squeeze it after every wash before putting it into the machine. By doing so, it will be considered Paak without any doubt.
