Does the hand become pure by washing it seven times, one of them with earth, after it has been afflicted by a dog’s saliva? What is the ruling on the water that flowed from it to the rest of the palm during washing? What is the ruling on what the hand touched of clothes and belongings if it remained impure? Is washing seven times specific to utensils?

Some scholars hold the view that the impurity of a dog, when not on utensils, can be purified by simply pouring water over it, and if you adopt this opinion, there is no harm. As for the more preponderant fatwa (definition), what you did by pouring water seven times, one of them with earth, has sufficed you. Regarding the water separated from washing the impurity that touched your hand, there is a difference of opinion concerning it. You are permitted to adopt the view of its purity if it separated without being changed by the impurity, and consequently, there is nothing upon you, and what you touched from belongings is pure.
