Putting napkins in a bin
Question
I suffer from extreme ocd. My brother is blessed with a baby boy. The family put his nappy in the toilet bin. Does the bin became impure?
Answer
If the impurity remained in the napkin and no traces of the impurity came onto the bin, the bin will not be napaak.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
