Washing off impurity

· 25 Rajab 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have a problem with my bladder (over-active bladder) where I find it difficult to control it so at times I have wet myself and it has gone on the
carpet (a few drops) and with impure hands I have accidentally touched a door handle or wall. Now if I touch the same part with pure hands will my hands become impure or stand on the carpet with wet feet will it make my feet impure? Also I have a problem with a fluid that sometimes comes out of my private part. I always wash it but sometimes I don't realise it has come out until I dry myself after a shower but I have with the same hands touched the carpet or door handle or wall and put the towel on the floor, now if I touch the same part again will it make my hand or feet impure?

Answer

If it is dry, your hands will not become impure. However the places upon which impurity had fallen should be washed.

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