Cleaning the Utensils of Non-Muslims

· 24 Jumada I 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

We eat so many things that is made by non-muslims and they don’t have to do fardh ghusal because they do not know paak/napaak, and if they are from Halaal sources then we say they are Halaal, thinking this makes me confused. Please explain as I waste a lot of water due to this doubt.

Answer

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