The statement mentioned is the Hanafi madhhab (school of thought), and there is no blame upon the person afflicted with waswas (obsessive doubts) for adopting the easier opinion. The Hanafis have explicitly stated that the body becomes impure if it touches something impure and wet, making it moist, and they did not mention wringing it out because it is inconceivable. However, if what touched the body was merely dampness, it does not become impure.
