Touching the wall with impure hands

· 4 Jumada I 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If there is najasat on the hand and it touched the wall but it's not possible to wash the wall. Will wiping it with a wet cloth three times suffice?

Answer

Yes. It will suffice provided the najaasat is removed.

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