Cleaning Blood Stains

· 2 Jumada II 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Last year during eid blood from the sheep splashed on my shoe(few drops scattered) I never clean it so it became hard and dry. now when I want to clean it its not coming out I put vinegar to remove it but it only helped little

1.is my shoe paak or how can I make it paak

2.if when cleaning with vinegar does every spot the vinegar touches on the shoe become impure as well

Answer

We understand from your query that the blood drops have stained your shoe and removing these stains is not possible, in spite of you having tried in numerous ways. The solution now is to pour water thrice over the impurity. By pouring water on the shoes thrice consecutively, it will be cleansed and regarded as Paak even though the stains remain.
