Washing a tap close to the toilet

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I’m confused about the following:

In a combined washroom where there is basin as well as toilet. After istinja a person openes the tap to wash hands and then closes the tap. Is it necessary to wash the tap handle after washing the hands as the washroom is in common use at home and you dont know if some one touches with impure hands. What is the ruling for it?

Bismillaah

A:

1. No.

2. As long as you do not seen any visible impurity, regard the tap to be clean.

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