Asalamualaikum
So a dog licked my clothes today and I know there is a ruling about washing clothes with dirt and then water 7 times. Instead of the dirt can I not just use soap or something? In fact, would my clothes be pure if I just threw them into the washing machine? What constitutes as washing the clothes once? Sprinkling water over it 7 times? Machine washing for 1 hour would surely be better, no?
Jazakullah for any advice.
