How can one ascertain the transfer of the effect of impurity from a wet impure garment to a pure garment? Is a strong presumption sufficient? What is the ruling on brief contact? Does the fatwa include the transfer of impurity to and from the body and inanimate objects? What is the ruling on recalling the impurity of something without recalling its cause? Must the pure garment be dry?

The cure for obsessive thoughts is to ignore them. The Hanafis are lenient regarding minor impurities, and if you act according to their madhhab (school of thought), then a small amount of impurity is excused. The Hanafi madhhab states that something moistened by urine does not become impure if it touches something else unless the effect of the dampness becomes apparent on it, and quick contact does not achieve that. When in doubt, the default is purity, and acting upon the predominant assumption is sufficient. Nothing is judged impure except with absolute certainty; otherwise, the default is purity.
