Touching a Utensil Before Taking One's Fardh Ghusal

· 4 Jumada I 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

After a wet dream or sexual relation with the wife when ghusal becomes farz, if I touch any utensil like a glass or plate would it become najis? Or I just washed my face then wiped it on a towel then I used this towel after I have a shower, would my ghusal be valid? Or do I have to wash these before I or someone else uses it. I get confused thinking this is wrong that until I have a shower I should not touch anything with wet hands.

Answer

It would not become najis. It only becomes najis if any najaasat gets on to the utensil and you are sure about it.
