Question:

as slamu alaikum.i have taharat and gas problems.my question is without purity can i wash clothes,which we have to wear to do namaz.can i clean house

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

It is permissible for you to wash your clothes, clean your house and do whatever you want while you are not in a state of ritual purity. Ablution is only a condition for performing the prayer, performing Tawaaf (circumambulation around the Ka’bah) and touching the Mus-haf (the Arabic text of the Quran). Apart from this, it is permissible to do anything without being in a state of ritual purity.

Allaah Knows best.
