How many times should one's clothing be washed to become pure from impurity?
Question
If mazi comes out on underwear then how many times must you wash that area for it to become pure?
Answer
The ruling for visible impurity is that the impure area has to be washed until the impurity is removed.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
