Washing clothing that was soiled with urine
Question
My 3 month old son had a portion of his clothes wet with urine. I removed the onesie and placed it carefully on the bed with the urine part facing upwards so I could wash it.
I fed my son and when I was done I picked up the onesie and went to wash it. Then I saw the onesie was completely dry all over and I couldn't find the spot where it was wet previously.
Can I use this onesie now or must I wash the whole thing?
Answer
If you are sure that he had messed the clothing with urine, then to clear your mind it is better to wash the entire clothing.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
