Touching Some Dry Impurity

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: If the clothing of a person, or a part of his bare body (such as his hand) or his khuff, touches an impure place which is dry, does it make it impure? For example, there was some urine on the carpet, and then it dried totally. If the above-mentioned things touch it, do they become impure?

A: If both areas are dry they will not be impure.

عن محمد بن إبراهيم عن أم ولد لعبد الرحمن بن عوف قالت قلت لأم سلمة : إني امرأة أطيل ذيلي وأمشي في المكان القذر ؟ فقالت قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يطهره ما بعده … وفي الباب عن عبد الله بن مسعود قال كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم لا نتوضأ من الموطإ قال أبو عيسى وهو قول غير واحد من أهل العلم قالوا ا وطئ الرجل على المكان القذر أنه لا يجب عليه غسل القدم إلا أن يكون رطبا فيغسل ما أصابه (جامع الترمذي 1/36)
