Does a garment become defiled if a woman is touched by discharge, even though the garment itself was not touched by this discharge?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The vaginal discharge of a woman is pure, according to the preponderant opinion, and does not render clothing impure. As for impure discharges like (pre-seminal fluid), it does not render clothing impure merely by its emission until one is certain that it has stained it. In that case, the part of the garment stained by the impurity must be washed for prayer. If there is no certainty that the garment has been stained by impurity, the original state of its purity remains.
