Question

How many times we should wash impure clothes in an automatic washing machine to make them pure? Washing once in a fully automatic washing machine is enough or not for making clothes paak (pure) or I need to wash three cycles?

Answer

The safer procedure is to wash the impure area out of the machine first and then put it into the machine.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
