The answer

If a mobile phone surface is contaminated with an impurity and wiped with a tissue, the preponderant opinion is that purity is achieved thereby. This is the view of a group of scholars because any smooth, non-porous surface, like a mirror or glass, becomes pure by wiping due to its solidity and the impurity not permeating it. Furthermore, excessive meticulousness and scrutiny in matters of impurities can be a form of waswasa (whisperings/obsessive thoughts).
