Do defiled clothes become pure by washing them once in an automatic washing machine? And what should be done about that?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Washing clothes in the aforementioned washing machine is sufficient for their purification if the impurity itself has been removed. A mere flow of water over the contaminated spot is sufficient if the impurity is only a ritual one (hukmiyya). There is no need to rewash them once the impurity has been removed; otherwise, they must be washed until it disappears.
