Pouring water over a sandy floor to purify it
Question
My child urinted outside when toilet training. How do I make the floor paak (taking into consideration it is a flatish, sandy land and not near a drain)? I poured water and left it to dry, do I need to repeat twice?
Answer
No.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
