Is a shirt touched by a man who has washed his penis, and any clothes he has touched thereafter, considered impure with an invisible or abstract impurity? And does wearing it in this state fall under acts of perversion or the people of Lot? Are the clothes of someone who rode in a taxi after a person described as "abnormal" or "homosexual" considered impure? And does this impurity transfer to clothes if the car seats were cleaned with the same cloth? And does impurity spread to the entire garment when washed if it had only affected a part of it?

We ask Allah to cure you from obsessions. Fear of Allah is by obeying His commands and avoiding His prohibitions, not by extremism and excessive rigidity. How can one imagine the hand becoming impure by washing the penis, or the seat and clothes becoming impure merely by a man sitting on them, or all clothes becoming impure by washing some of them together? We advise you to abandon these thoughts and obsessions, to seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, to recite the Two Protections (Surahs Al-Falaq and An-Nas), to constantly engage in remembrance of Allah (dhikr) and recitation of the Qur’an, and to seek refuge in Allah.
