Clean clothes coming into contact with impure clothes
Question
If wet with water napaak clothes (with a few drops of urine on it and impure water) accidently touch clean wet clothes that have just come out of the machine and are put out to dry, can I wear those clothes or do I have to wash them again?
Answer
If there are no visible traces of impurity, then regard the clothes to be pure.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
