Washing impure clothes in the washing machine
Question
How many times we should wash impure clothes in an automatic washing machine to make them pure? Washing once in a fully automatic washing machine is enough or not for making clothes paak (pure) or I need to wash three cycles?
Answer
The safer procedure is to wash the impure area out of the machine first and then put it into the machine.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
