Is ghusl necessary if a baby urinates or poos on a person?
Question
If a baby urinates or poos on you while bathing or changing them, do we need to make ghusl or take a shower to remove the impurity?
Answer
The urine and stool of a baby are impure.
However, if it touches a person’s body, it does not necessitate Ghusl. One is only required to wash the messed portion. A ghusl or shower is not required. [Tahtaawi 1: 96]
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
