Question:

Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhHow many times can a najasa be passed on? My mother washed shoes wich had najasa on them in the bathroom, while washing najis water probably dropped on the floor, she wiped it with pure water that also dropped on the floor while washing the shoes, she didnt do more than thisIf someone walks in the bathroom while the floor is wet, does he have najasa on his feet? If he walks outside of the bathroom into other rooms, is he spreading najasa around the house and what if someone steps into his footsteps wet, does this mean he also has najasa on his feet then?

Answer:

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

Your question stems from whispers and it proves that you are affected by them, so you must ignore them and not pay any attention to them.

If the water with which your mother had washed the impurity –if we presume that there is any impurity –is separated from the impurity without being changed by it, then it is ruled that it [the water] is pure.

Hence, the water that fell on the floor of the bathroom is pure and whatever it has touched is also pure.

We conclude with the advice we have started that in this Fatwa, that you have to repel and ignore these whispers, and that you do not judge that something is impure or that the impurity is transferred from one object to another unless you are absolutely certain about that.

For more benefit, please refer to Fataawa 358717, 377887, 370942, 375406 and 386329.

Allah knows best.
