If ghusal is incomplete, does clothing need to be changed?

Question

If, after performing ghusal and putting on clothing, one realizes that the ghusal is incomplete/incorrectly performed, does one need to put on a new (different) set of clothing. Are the clothes put on after the first ghusal na-paak?

Answer

There is no need to put on a new set of clothing if the clothes are not soiled. Even if one is in need of Ghusl, the clothes he is wearing are not Na-paak (Najis). They will be regarded as Najis only if they are soiled with Najaasat.
