Question

My Question is, please give me a detailed explanation about how to clean a (Napak) cloth in the washing machine. Should I remove the cloth from washing machine or I can clean it changing the water three times in it?

Answer

The safest is to wash out the impurity from the cloth and then put it in the machine.

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