Does Washing Filthy Clothes With Pure Clothes Entail That All My Clothes Are Impure?

Answered by Ustadh Tabraze Azam

Question: Assalam alaykum

I am struggling to go back to the straight path.

Does washing filthy clothes with pure clothes entail that all my clothes are impure? Does it entail that all the items of my house are impure?

Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

If an item of clothing comes out of the washing machine without any clearly distinguishable traces of filth, it is deemed pure.

Consequently, you should focus more on renewing your faith, fulfilling your current and past obligations, and resolving to leave your past completely.
