Re: Embarrassing question but need clarification!
Whilst there is a thread open on the subject, is there an islamic view on "na paak" clothing etc?
For example, the changing of bedlinen.
Once I was involved in a conversation and several people said, that like me, they change the bedlinen as soon as it becomes napak, however one lady said that she does not, and in fact will even use it for several days before it is changed. She insisted that this was fine as long as she did not come into contact with it, and as long as she showered everymorning, whether she is in state of janabah or not.
I thought that all na paak clothing and bedlinen had to be washed straight away otherwise there is no barkat in the house?
Does anyone have any quotes I can use in my argument?
If napaki is not visible or it has dried up and cannot get transfered to your clothing the behavior of that lady is right. Think about it you can perform teamum' ( dry wudu) off of a dry surface as long as you do not see any napaki sticking to that surface.
There is so much hearsay in Muslim communities because people do not have time to look into the books themselves therefore some people will just use common sense and speculate.
