Is it necessary to repeat ablution after shaking hands with an intoxicated person, or to change the clothes he touched when praying?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The predominant opinion is that intoxicants are impure. If they come into contact with a pure place, such as the hand or clothing, they render it impure. It is obligatory to remove the impurity from the affected area before prayer. However, this does not affect the validity of the ablution.
