Question:

If a non visible impurity dries on a carpet or sofa. If we sleep or sit with wet clothes on such carpet or sofa. Will the impurity be transferred to clothes. Or if we touch such a place with wet hands will the impurity transfer. How to clean invisible impurity if exact place of impurity is not known. Jazakallah

Answer:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الجواب وبالله التوفيق والنجاح

If you touch an unseen dried najas in sofa or a carpet with less wet hand or with less wet cloth that doesn’t drops water if squeezed ,that cloth and place doesn’t become najas .But if the wet cloth drops water if squeezed ,then the cloth and place will become najas.

Unseen najas can be cleaned by washing and drying it for three times .While washing each time make sure that no drops of water remain in the cloth. If the material is unsqueezable , then washing three times and drying is enough to remove najas .

والله أعلم بالصواب
