Assalamualaikum. My question is wether mazi is impure or not? Can one read salat in clothes that have been soiled with mazi.Jazakallah Khair. wassalam.

Answer

Mazi is from among Najaasat-e-Ghalizah (severe impurities). Therefore, the soiled portion of the body or clothes with Mazi must be washed before performing Salaat.

If the Mazi on the body or clothes is more than the hollow of one's palm, the Salaat will be invalid. If it is lesser than that, it will be Makrooh (disliked).
