Wetness on skin after using wet wipes to clean feces is impure

Question:

Assalaamu alaykum. If for a newborn baby, the feces are cleaned with baby wipes and then the moisture is removed with a clean cloth, does the cloth become impure?

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.

If you used moist wipes to clean the impurity from the baby's skin, then this moisture itself becomes impure. Then if you use a cloth afterward to wipe such impure moisture, the cloth becomes impure as well upon coming in contact with the moisture.

Allaah knows best.
