Doubts about impurity on clothing

· 16 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1444 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

While doing my Tawaaf-e-Ziyaarat, I noticed some marks on my Kurta. I’m very uncertain with regards to these marks. I did apply Vaseline before Tawaaf, so it could have been from that, but I’m not sure. What is the status of my Tawaaf?

Answer

You had no certainty of any impurity being on your clothing, hence your Tawaaf will be in order.
