Q: My job requires me to travel a lot. I sometimes stay in an apartment with a communal kitchen. The dishes are thus also used by non-muslim guests. After guests use the dishes, they are cleaned by the staff of the lodge. Now when I use these dishes, do I have to rinse it seven times to make it clean, if there are no apparent signs of impurities on them?
A: If you are clear that they are washed correctly, you do not need to rinse them.
