Q: Please can you help me with the following?
1. I was walking outside and there was an area which had a lot of stool from various birds, I tried my best to avoid it but am not certain if I avoided it completely, does this make the bottom of my shoes napaak?
2. If a non Muslim is eating a sandwich and I am not sure what the content of the sandwich is (i.e. if it contained something haram) and they subsequently touched me on my back, does this make my clothes and the seat my back subsequently leaned against napaak?
A:
1. As long as there is no trace of any najaasat your shoes will be paak.
2. No.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
