Question: 

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.

Since recently, we have two dogs. The dogs bite in clothes and my family aren’t Muslim, so they don’t wash their clothes with soil and water. Does this mean that when their clothes are being washed in the washing machine, I should wash my own clothes separately? Or do my clothes remain pure when they are being washed alongside with those najis-stained clothes?

JazakAllahu khayran in advance

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

Answer: 

Waaliakum salaam wwbr  

Your clothes will be pure after being washed together with their clothes and there’s no need to wash them separately.   

Only Allah Ta allah knows best.
