What are the requirements when body excrement gets on your clothes?
Question
If excrement spoils your undergarments, and you do not wash, yet you still sleep with the same clothes, do you have to wash your bed linen?
Answer
The bed linen will be Taahir (pure) if the impurity or its odour, etc. does not have an effect on the bed linen.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
