Pants becoming impure

· 6 Jumada II 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Somebody in the house was sick and they got stains of stool on their underpants. That person was not aware. I am not sure that while changing their clothes their foot touched the impurity or not and now they have walked in the house etc. Do I need to worry about where they sat and walked. Please help.

Answer

If the impurity was dry and you do not see any visible traces of the impurity on the places he sat or anywhere else, then regard those places to be paak.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
