Wears slippers with pigskin soles
Question
Someone wears slippers with pigskin soles. If he now takes off the slippers and walks on a carpet, does the carpet becomes impure? The person was wearing socks with slippers that were not wet, but as you know the socks get kind of humid/ from feet heat when wearing/walking. Does such dampness (without actual wetness) transfer the impurity or must it be real wet?
Answer
If the feet was not wet, then regard the carpet to be pure.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
