Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If my hands are impure and let’s say they’re sweaty or moist, if I touch cream that I use to cream my face, would the cream I touch become impure, and would it transfer around my face? What if the cream didn’t change its taste, smell, or color, would it still be considered impure although it touched something moist or wet?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If your hands became ritually impure (shar’an) due to either touching something impure or impurity somehow coming into contact with your hands, then yes, using your hands in this state to take out cream and apply it to your face would cause the impurity to spread or transfer onto your face.[1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moreover, there is certainty regarding your hands being impure along with them being sweaty\/moist. Therefore, whether the cream didn\u2019t change its taste, smell, or color, it is certain that impurity has mixed with the cream that you touched to apply to your face\u2014the sum total of all of this being the transfer of impurity.[2]<\/span><\/p>\n
