Wearing and washing clothes made up of recycled plastic fibers

Question

Can we wear and wash clothes made up of recycled plastic fiber in a washing machine with other clothes? Are these clothes pure to use as these days mostly clothes use recycled material.

Answer

Yes, it is permissible. After the clothes are washed, if there are no visible traces of impurity on the clothes, they will be regarded as paak.

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