Does wiping computers and mobile phones with a medical wipe render them impure, and does this affect prayer if clothes are touched or if the body is wet with water?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Devices become impure by the swab if it contains an impure substance, and the effect of the impurity transfers to clothes if they come into contact with the impure device and one of them is wet. However, if the swabs do not contain anything impure, then what they touch does not become impure.
