Reading inappropriate literature

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I was reading a text that was inappropriate not intentionally and it wasn’t descriptive at all it just had an inappropriate word (sexual). Since I read it am I napaak now? and am I that type of napaak even if I have my periods? If I have sat on many places are those napaak now as well? Please help. This has been bothering me since the morning when I had read it.

Bismillaah

A: If the literature will stir up wrong feelings within you, then you should refrain from reading such literature. However you have not become napaak.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
