Furniture stained with Najasah

458

Q: Is it sufficient to wipe off the Najasah (impurity) that may fall on furniture or carpets three times with a sponge, or what should a Muslim do?

A: All praise be to Allah Alone, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, and his family and Companions. It is not sufficient to just wipe off the Najasah that falls on the domestic items mentioned above; rather, abundant water must be poured over it until it overrides the urine or similar impurity that fell on it. In addition, if the Najasah is solid, it must be removed.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
