The question

Does washing impure clothes with pure ones in the washing machine with water and soap, then rinsing them under the tap, render them pure again? And is topical anesthetic spray for teeth pure or impure?

The answer

If the washing is done by placing clothes in a small amount of water (less than two qullas), and this water becomes impure upon contact with the impurity, then the clothes are not purified. However, if the washing machine removes the impurity and then water flows over the clothes, or if each garment is washed separately with water, then the clothes become pure. As for the second question, the default ruling for the aforementioned anesthetic is purity, unless one is certain that it contains an impure substance such as alcohol.
