The answer

As long as the questioner is not certain about the presence of impurity in fabric softeners, the original state of these softeners is purity, and it is permissible to use them. If they contain an impurity that has undergone a chemical transformation (istihalah), then they are pure. If the impurity has not undergone such a transformation, it becomes pure by washing with water. This inquiry is a continuation of obsessive doubts (waswasah).
