Rubbing impurity on the ground
Question
I ride scooters and bikes to school. I rolled over non-halal foods/sandwich packages with leftover foods several times when riding on the streets. I live in the U.S. and the sandwiches are subway wraps with wet food oil and sauce and certainly not halal. Hence, the bike tire becomes impure. When I ride it in rainy days, the water splashes from the tire onto my shoes and pants. Since the bike tire is impure the water splash is impure. I have to go back home and wash them every time I pray and it severely impacts my life. However, I heard that walking or rubbing impurity against the ground makes the impure shoe pure. Does this ruling apply to a bike/scooter tires? If so then the bike tire can be regarded as pure as it rubs against the ground so many times?
Answer
Don't pay attention to this.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
