Items that are solid and smooth (impermeable) may be purified by wiping them. If the impure substance gets onto cushions and large furnishings, water should be poured on the impure spot, until the water overwhelms the impure substance that got onto it. There is no religious text which states the number of times impurity must be washed, except the impurity of a dog only, which must be washed seven times. If impurity falls into water, it does not become impure unless it is changed thereby, such as if its colour or smell is changed. If the impure garment is washed in a washing machine and the trace of impurity is removed from it, then it becomes pure thereby.

If the impurity gets onto a carpet that cannot be wrung out, then the way to purify it is by removing the substance of the impurity, and drying up whatever urine is on it, then pouring water over it and drying it up. If the impurity came from a dog, then it is essential to wash the carpet seven times with water and to make the first time with soap or any other agent that will remove it.

If a Muslim man or woman prays in a garment on which there is some impurity, regardless of the type of garment, and he did not remember that until after he had finished praying, then his prayer is valid according to the correct opinion.

The jurists agree that if pus is expelled by the human body, it is impure, because it comes under the heading of unclean things (Al-khaba’ith: unclean, impure, evil things).

Flowing blood is impure according to scholarly consensus. That is indicated by clear evidence from the Quran and Sunnah.
