Washing impure clothes in a washing machine
Question
If a napaak cloth is washed with paak clothes for 2 cycles with new, clean water used each time - then while the napaak one is still napaak, what is the status of the originally paak clothes?
Answer
If you are referring to the clothes that are washed in a washing machine, then all the clothes will become paak.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
