Is the feces of a gecko impure, and is prayer valid if it is present on one's clothes or body?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The droppings of a gecko are pure because a gecko is among creatures that do not possess flowing blood, and its droppings are pure in all their parts and excretions. However, it is more cautious to wash anything that the droppings have touched on clothing or the body, so that the prayer may be valid.
