Not washing one’s hands when waking up

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: The one who wakes up, his hands are napak? What is the ruling for a person who does not wash his hands and goes to the washroom and touches the taps etc. and after washing his hands does not pour water on the taps and closes the tap. So does his hands, the taps etc. become napak? What about if he touches other things, will that also become napak? 

Bismillaah

A: If there is no visible traces of impurity on the hands, then the hands will be regarded as pure. Hence, everything the hands touch will also be considered paak.

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