Washing the feet for the second time after having a shower

· 20 Jumada II 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Whenever I have a shower and after I wash my feet and step out to dry myself and dress myself then when I go back to wipe the base of the shower cubicle where you stand, I find there are small hairs and little fluff. Does this mean I have to wash my feet again and the areas I've stepped on? Or are these hairs pure and I can just ignore it?

Answer

You do not need to repeat washing your feet.

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