Washing Clothing Touched By A Menstruating Woman

[ummtaalib]

Q. When growing up , we were taught that any piece of clothing worn , towels  and bedding used while a woman is menstruating is considered impure and must be washed. These items cannot be worn after menses if it has not been washed. Is there any basis for this. In todays times when cost of living is so high , and wearing so much of clothing in winter , washing , coats , blankets , sheets , scarves , hats , etc  maybe impractical for the working women and very expensive.

 

 

A.  This is not true. As long as there is no trace of impurity on such clothing and dress, it will be considered pure and does not have to be washed.

 

And Allah Knows Best

Assalamualaikum 

 

Alhamdulillah, I've found this here. I was just thinking to ask Alimah regarding this cos I've have been taught the same but never knew the basis for it. I read the answer but one thing is still not clear.  When the menstruation period ends, could we wear the same clothes that have been worn during periods If the clothes have no any stains on it?

Yes you can wear the same clothes that have been worn during periods If the clothes have no any stains on it.
