Performing salaah with a wallet in one's pocket
Question
Is it permissible to have a wallet in one’s pocket while praying salat? The reason I ask this question is because there’s a chance that dollar bills in the wallet may have traces of fecal matter on them as they are used inappropriately in strip clubs.
Answer
It is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
