Removing impurity from the door

· 4 Rajab 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If there is visible impurity from along time ago and was never cleaned what should I do? And how would I clean it since its on a closet door because I can't pour water on the doors. Also if I use a soaking wet tissue, if the water while wiping falls on the carpet will the carpet become napaak? I avoid those areas of impurities so after I do wudo and close the door where the impurity isn't there will I become napak? I have read namaz many times before after doing so, did they not count?

Answer

Wash it thrice and see that you rinse it out thoroughly.

You can wipe it out properly and thereafter perhaps rub it with a moist rag. The door will then be paak.

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