Does the automatic washing machine remain valid for purifying impure clothes after mixing pure and impure clothes in it? Must the washing machine be purified before putting clothes in it after that situation? Are clothes purified if their ritual impurity is put together in the washing machine?

The basic principle regarding clothes washed with detergents and then with water is that they are pure. Therefore, there is no harm in washing your clothes in the washing machine, even if impure clothes were previously washed in it. Do not pay attention to doubts about the transfer of impurity unless there is absolute certainty. We advise you to adhere to prayer, distract yourself from obsessive thoughts, and consult the Counseling Department.
