In the case of a towel that was initially dry and impure but later became soaked with rainwater, the rainwater will be considered pure. Rainwater does not carry impurities, nor does it make anything else impure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Even if the towel becomes so soaked that rainwater drips off, the rainwater remains pure and does not contaminate anything else. Since rainwater is inherently pure, it will not carry the impurity from the towel unless that impurity is wet and transferable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Given this, the rainwater absorbed by the towel remains pure, and anything it touches will not become impure unless the impurity itself is present and transferable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Only Allah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Written by Alimah Khadija Tarwala<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0627\u0644\u0646\u062c\u0627\u0633\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u0637\u0628\u0629 \u0644\u0627 \u062a\u0637\u0647\u0631 \u0625\u0644\u0627 \u0639\u0646\u062f \u0625\u0632\u0627\u0644\u0629 \u0639\u064a\u0646\u0647\u0627. \u062a\u062d\u0641\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0644\u0648\u0643\u060c \u062c 1\u060c \u0635 253<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0645\u0627\u0621 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0637\u0631 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0633\u064a\u0644 \u0644\u0648 \u062c\u0631\u0649 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0646\u062c\u0627\u0633\u0629 \u0641\u063a\u0644\u0628 \u0639\u0644\u0649 \u0638\u0646\u0646\u0627 \u0632\u0648\u0627\u0644\u0647\u0627 \u062c\u0627\u0632 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u0639\u0645\u0627\u0644 \u0648\u0625\u0646 \u0644\u0645 \u064a\u0643\u0646 \u0647\u0646\u0627\u0643 \u063a\u0627\u0633\u0644 \u0623\u0635\u0644\u064b\u0627. \u0643\u062a\u0627\u0628 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u062c\u0631\u064a\u062f \u0644\u0644\u0642\u062f\u0648\u0631\u064a\u060c \u062c1\u060c \u0635 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">286<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fatwa ID: 07825 &nbsp; &nbsp; Written by Alimah Khadija Tarwala &nbsp; Question: &nbsp; If a dry najis towel is used to stop rain from entering&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34904"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34904"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35018,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34904\/revisions\/35018"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daruliftabirmingham.co.uk\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
