Question

While putting clothes with najaasat on them in the washing machine, some of the clothes touched the outside of the machine. After washing, while taking out wet washed clothes, some part of the clothes touched the same spot of machine where najis clothes touched. My question is, did my wet clean clothes again became najis and should I wash them again?

Answer

It does not make it napaak.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
