Water collecting in the tub while bathing

· 25 Rajab 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

We shower in a tub. When we take a shower, water collects at one end of the tub though the tub has a drain but the water collects at one place and we use our feet to push that water towards the drain. My family members sometimes don't push the water and use the towel to wipe their feet and then place the towel with mine. Will my towel become impure? Sometimes the water seems soapy.

Answer

No

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