What is the ruling on a pure object touching a wet impure object for a moment, and does the pure object become impure merely by touching the impurity?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Avoiding obsessive doubts (waswasah) and turning away from them is essential due to their serious consequences. If the question is about something that is already ritually impure (najis) and wet, then whatever touches the location of the impurity will certainly become impure, even for a short time. The details of the transmission of impurity have been clarified in previous fatwas.
