Would impure dry objects transfer their impurity to other objects?
Question
Would impure dry objects transfer their impurity to other objects?
Answer
Any impure materials do not soil (make impure) anything else unless their impurity is wet and transferable. Thus, if the impurity is dry or non-transferable, then there is no problem. Jurists stated, “there is no disagreement between Muslim scholars that when a dry impurity touches something dry it does not make the latter impure”.
