What is the ruling on eating from cafeteria plates that dogs have licked and that are not washed seven times?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The dog is impure, so if a dog licks a vessel, it is obligatory to wash it seven times, the first with earth. It is obligatory to advise the cafeteria workers to protect the utensils from dogs. If they comply, then do not eat from their utensils.
