Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The way to purify the vessel of any one of you if a dog has licked it is to wash it seven times, the first time with earth." (Reported by Muslim, no. 420).

Same goes if:
- it licks you, or your clothes etc.
- if you or something of your comes into contact with a dog's nose, as it is wet.
- If you touch a dog while it is wet as impurities are not transferred when dry. But some scholars say that merely touching a dog does not cause impurity. Only it's saliva is impure. Allahu Aalim.

ps. Sorry for being rude before.

What should I do if a dog licked me some time ago and I can't remember the exact location of where it licked me on my leg. I was very young then - maybe 9 years old and since then have made some wajib ghusls obviously. Should I just ignore it and leave it then?

it's okay. I know it sounds like I am making a big deal out of nothing but I am having a very hard time ignoring all of these doubts. I am trying though
 
Sorry a bit of my question got mixed in with your quote.

It was long ago and would have got washed away by now, since you have bathed and made ablution many times since then.
 
Just had a question and thought I'll find the old thread.

If a mattress becomes najaasat with semen on it, and then it dries there and someone else rests on that mattress after about a month or so, does that mean the other person has become impure? Does she need to wash herself before the next prayer? or is there a ghusl or anything?
 
Assalaamu alaykum,

This thread is really old but just had a question. Based on what brother Hamza said about water being a purifier and the response by Sister Manaal to having to wash yourself seven times if you touch a dog, I just had a question. Does this mean if someone comes across any other haram substances such as alcohol, pork or non-halal meat such as chicken, one can just wash themselves ONCE with water? Is there any specific way of doing so like having to make ablution or is simply washing your hands or clothes enough?

Thank you/

Asalaamu Alaikum, if a dog licked any part of your clothing then giving it a wash in the washing machine is sufficient enough to make it clean and that is the same with any other impurity as long as there is no visible impurity left to be seen.

A pig is Najsul-Ayn (completely impure). It is not permissible to use any product of a pig as well as any product manufactured from it. However, if it is dry, for example, a ball, shoes, etc. then touching it does not make one impure. There is no need to wash the hand or make Wudhu.

Oh the reason I ask is in the cases of coming across the meat. Insha Allah, I will be moving soon as the academic year ends in a few more months and I have my own plates and things for cooking. However, if someone has used something for cooking pork and you accidentally touch it (or touch it to throw it out or move it away), is cleaning yourself once okay?

Thank you

Asalaamu Alaikum, if it left no visible dirt on your clothing then there is no need to wash your clothing but if there was visible dirt left then just wash it until the visible dirt has gone. If you have washed it enough and a stain is left then it will still be considered as pure. The same applies with cutlery.

And Allah knows best in all matters
