How is the najasah transferred?
A tahir thing becomes najis if it comes in contact with a najis thing with dampness.
If a thing became najis with sperm and became dry, and you touch it with wet feet does your feet became najis?
Yes, it does become najis.
If the floor of a bathroom becomes najis and the essential najasah has been removed but the whole bathroom floor is wiped with the same mop that removed the najasah, does the whole area become najis? If one steps in it after some time, does his foot become najis when they are wet? If so, then does najasah transfer when my moist foot touches my room floor?
Yes, the whole bathroom floor becomes najis in the said scenario with the existence of dampness, and whatever touches it with dampness becomes najis, provided that this was the only cleaning method used.
If the floor is cleaned through other ways as well in which the taharah of the floor is achieved, such as with running tap water, such that one is no longer certain of the najasah of the floor when it comes in contact with the foot or the clothes, then one can consider the foot as tahir.
This applies to any situation where najasah is doubted after being sure that taharah took place.
If the floor of the bathroom become najis and my foot touches the floor and then my foot touches my slippers and then when my foot touched the carpet in my room do all the above become najis?
All the mentioned things are considered as najis if the contact was with dampness.
I was using the toilet and the urine splashed onto my body which I did not wash. Also a few drop of urine fell on my underwear accidently, which I did not wash. I went to bed and started to sweat. Does that make the rest of my clothes Najis?
The part of the body and clothing that came in contact with urine becomes najis, and whatever comes in contact with the najis body or clothing with transferring dampness also becomes najis. So, if the sweat transfers the wetness from the najis body or clothing to anything else, the latter also becomes najis.
Object A is initially najis and makes contact with object B with wetness. object B makes contact with object C with wetness. Object C then makes contact with object D with wetness. If something comes into contact with object D with wetness, does it also become najis? Or is it considered at this point something that is najis but that does not make anything else najis?
Object D is considered as najis and can cause other things to become najis as well when contacted with dampness.
If a person is sleeping on a bed and he urinates or ejaculates, while his body and clothes are clearly najis, does his bed and blanket become najis as well?
In the event that the urine or semen is not seen on the bed or blanket, if the dampness of the najasah is transferred to the bed or the blanket, then the bed or blanket becomes najis as well. If not then the bed or blanket is not najis.
Is there a maximum number of transfers of najasah? For example, if the najasah has been transferred to a first object, to a second object, will the third object become najis from wet contact too?
As long as the moisture is present between two objects, the najasah will transfer, however many times this may happen. There is no maximum number of transfers.
His Eminence has said whenever a najis thing comes in contact with something else with transferring dampness, it will be come najis too, no matter how many things may be in the chain of the transferring of najasah.
Would this not mean that everything around us is najis?
This does not make everything najis, since one is not aware that they had been in contact with najis things with dampness, or one is sure that a particular thing became tahir and najis without knowing which one was first. In such cases it is considered to be tahir.
If my hand comes in contact with semen, and I touch a mobile phone, but I am not sure if I touched it with the najis hand or the tahir hand, then what should I do with this phone? I cannot wash it because it will be ruined. What do you suggest?
As long as you are not sure that your hand was najis when you touched the mobile phone, you can consider it as tahir. Furthermore, najasah is transferred from one thing to another if the dampness in one of them is transferred to the other. If the mobile phone does become najis, then it cannot be purified again except with water. It is not prohibited to use it while it is najis.
If a person is drunk from consuming wine, is he considered najis and is his sweat najis?
He is not considered to be najis. Only whatever came in contact with the wine is considered to be najis.
If some drops of what is apparently semen are on clothes and that part touches the bedding and it then dries up, is the bedding najis?
If you know it to be semen or najis liquid, the bedding will become najis, but as long as it is dry the najasah will not transfer to something else.
Does washing clothes with detergent in a washing machine make the najis clothes tahir?
If one piece of clothing is najis, then washing it with tahir clothes makes all clothes being washed najis even if detergent is used. They do not become tahir again unless they were washed with unmixed tahir water.
If I was washing my najis face with little water by taking water in the hand and pouring on the najis part of the face, will my hand become najis if it touches the najis part of my face while pouring water for its taharah, and will I have to wash my hands again to pour water second time?
The hand does not become najis in the prescribed scenario.
If I have sexual intercourse, does it mean that I am najis and I have to wash my clothes, even if the semen hasn’t touched the clothes?
Having sexual intercourse with your wife makes you in the state of janābah. It does not make your body najis. It makes the parts of your body that were in contact with semen najis only. If you made these parts tahir after the intercourse ends, then the entirety of your body is tahir. However, you are still required to perform the ghusl of janābah before offering the prayers. Therefore, you do not need to wash your clothes simply because you wore them when you were in the state of janābah, unless the semen or any other najasah came in contact with them.
I had just realized that my pillow has a blood stain. I had a shower and put my head on the pillow to rest. I then got up to do Wudhu and pray. Did my hair become Najis and is my prayer valid?
If you have a doubt about whether the wet hair touched and blood stain, and there is a possibility in your mind that the hair could have avoided contact with the blood, then the principle of taharah applies here. This principle states a thing does not become najis unless you know that it has made contact with najasah and it has transferred.
