What is the ruling on clothes that were placed in a bag containing maniyy (seminal fluid) and madhiy (prostatic fluid) before washing, then the laundryman returned them in the same bag after washing them? And is the laundryman considered impure? And does sleeping on the same bed after a wet dream and performing ghusl (ritual bath) – without washing the place of sleep – affect the purity of the place, knowing that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pray while there was maniyy on his garment?
The questioner's problem is waswasah (obsessive whispering/doubts). Pure clothes do not become impure merely by being placed with impure clothes after being washed. A person does not become impure merely by touching impure clothes unless his hand touches the impurity itself. It is not necessary to wash the sleeping area after a wet dream because it is pure. These questions indicate severe waswasah. The questioner is advised to fear Allah and distance himself from these obsessive doubts, and to know that the default state of things is purity. Therefore, nothing should be judged as impure unless one is certain that it has been afflicted by impurity.
