Washing mosquito blood stains from one's bedding
Question
1. I have a problem of mosquito blood staining my bedding. I therefore wash that part only but do not do so 3x, sometimes only once because the blood is removed. Is this ok?
2. The water that falls elsewhere on my bedding from the washing of the blood, is it considered napaak? Do I have to wash that area where the water fell as well? - since the water has been used to wash blood.
3. Is the area where the above mentioned water fell has dried with no traces of impurity, will it be considered pure?
Answer
1. If the traces of blood are removed through washing the area once, then washing the area once is sufficient.
2 & 3. If the water which splashed was not mixed with the blood, the water will not be impure. However, if the water mixed with the blood and then splashed around, then the area upon which the water had splashed should also be washed.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
