Question

What is the easiest way to wash najis clothes? Is it compulsory to wash and rinse 3 times? If someone dips the impure clothes in water and after some time he washes it with a washing brush, and after that he washes the clothes with water, will it be pure?

Answer

Do not dip the impure clothing in the bucket of water. Dipping the impure clothing in the water will make all the water impure. The correct method is to first wash the clothing and remove the impurity. Thereafter, you may rinse the clothing in a bucket of water for the second time and thereafter squeeze out the water. In this way, the clothing will be pure.

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