Water Splashing On To Other Parts Of The Body While Cleaning Najaasat (Impurity)

· 5 Shawwal 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Whilst cleaning, if water drips to another portion of one’s body, does that portion also become impure?

Answer

If the water drips on the other parts of the body whilst cleaning the impurity, the other portions will become impure. However, if one washes the entire impure limb thrice in such a manner that the water does not splash on the other limbs or the water flows off, the other limbs will not become impure.
