Touching a wallet with impure hands
Question
If a wallet was touched with impure hands and a person keeps that wallet in their pocket and performed salaah with it, what is the validity of their salaah?
I’m not sure what the impurity was as a few years ago it would be difficult to control impurities and most of the things I touched would become impure. I did wash/wipe the wallet but I’m not sure how long after that was.
Answer
If no impurity had come onto the wallet, then regard the wallet as paak.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
