Clean Clothes Getting Wet With Rain

· 26 Jumada I 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If clean clothes are put out to dry, do they remain paak if it rains and they become soaked or do they need to be re-washed? Similarly, the container the clothes are placed in after they are dry was outside and also became soaked as did the washing line. Do these items remain paak or do they need to be re-washed?

Answer

They don’t need to be re-washed. Rain is absolutely pure.
