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

 <\/p>\n

I wash invisible impure clothes (like urine mixed with water) in an automatic washing machine which runs total 4 cycles and 4 spins. However, the clothes rose above the water level and do not go back completely. Do them clothes become pure? I can\u2019t tell since it had invisible najasah on them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, during the working of washing machine, the machine only spins for like 1-2 minutes which do not take out all the water from clothes it always drips uprong wringing. After that new water comes in and the process is repeated. However, the last spin is for like 8-10 minutes. Which usually takes water out meaning upon wringing it does not drip. But sometimes even after last spin. When I wring cloth with full force it sometimes drips 3-4 drops<\/span><\/p>\n

Now my question is, in both case the clothes are impure or pure? If impure then how can I make them pure, since there is always some water left in clothes.<\/span><\/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

You’re not alone in wondering about this \u2013 it\u2019s a common concern for anyone trying to be cautious with purity (\u1e6dah\u0101rah), especially when using modern appliances like a washing machine <\/span>the clothes are considered pure, as long as they were\u00a0soaked in clean water at least once, and went through\u00a0proper rinsing, and\u00a0most of the water was extracted\u00a0by the final spin cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Hanafi fiqh, when impurity is\u00a0not visible, there’s\u00a0no need for visible signs\u00a0of cleanliness (like the disappearance of colour or smell). The condition is that the impurity be washed away and rinsed sufficiently, and most of the water is removed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What matters is that most of the water is removed, not every single drop. The final spin of the washing machine is treated like squeezing by hand. If the water coming out is minimal and only when forcefully wrung, it does not affect the purity of the garment.<\/span><\/p>\n
