Is it permissible to pray in clothes that have been defiled and then dried?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

For the prayer to be valid, it is a condition to avoid impurity on clothes. There is no difference between dry and wet impurity in the obligation to remove them, as the sacred texts have not differentiated between them. Impurity is only removed by washing with pure water; its dryness is not sufficient. If a person touches wet impurity, the touched area should be washed due to the impurity transferring. However, if dry impurity is touched, there is no need to wash what touched it because it does not transfer.
