Question:

After I wash impure cloths, I see tiny particles on my clothes, what should I consider them? Should I consider them skin of hands while touching the cloths or something else, sometimes I rub them they melt, sometimes they appear like stretchy or rubber. Please guide, I have vaginal discharge problem.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Answer:

If you have washed the clothes, then they should be pure [1]. If your predominant opinion is that these particles are an impurity, then it would be best to wash them off [2]. Otherwise, you may disregard them [3].

(وَكَذَا يَطْهُرُ مَحَلُّ نَجَاسَةٍ) أَمَّا عَيْنُهَا فَلَا تَقْبَلُ الطَّهَارَةَ (مَرْئِيَّةٍ) بَعْدَ جَفَافٍ كَدَمٍ (بِقَلْعِهَا) أَيْ: بِزَوَالِ عَيْنِهَا وَأَثَرِهَا وَلَوْ بِمَرَّةٍ أَوْ بِمَا فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ فِي الْأَصَحِّ

وَالْأَقْرَبُ أَنَّ غَسْلَ الدِّرْهَمِ وَمَا دُونَهُ مُسْتَحَبٌّ مَعَ الْعِلْمِ بِهِ وَالْقُدْرَةِ عَلَى غَسْلِهِ، فَتَرْكُهُ حِينَئِذٍ خِلَافُ الْأَوْلَى

[3] Bada’ius Sana’i, vol. 1, pg. 65, Darul Kutubul Ilmiyyah:

أَنَّ الْحَدَثَ كَانَ ثَابِتًا بِيَقِينٍ فَلَا تَحْصُلُ الطَّهَارَةُ بِالشَّكِّ، وَالْعُضْوُ وَالثَّوْبُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا كَانَ طَاهِرًا بِيَقِينٍ فَلَا يَتَنَجَّسُ بِالشَّكِّ

Raddul Muhtar, vol. 1, pg. 151, Darul Fikr:

وَلَوْ شَكَّ فِي نَجَاسَةِ مَاءٍ أَوْ ثَوْبٍ أَوْ طَلَاقٍ أَوْ عِتْقٍ لَمْ يُعْتَبَرْ، وَتَمَامُهُ فِي الْأَشْبَاهِ

Only Allah (عز و جل) knows best.
