Regards, Abbas Jaffer Acting Moderator - 'Aalim Network ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUESTION: I have been going through the questions submitted earlier and saw a question regarding Janaabat where it said that if a person touches anything in the state of Janaabat it does not make it Najis as Janaabat is a spiritual state and not a physical state. For instance if I am najis from Janaabat and I wash the utensils or wash clothes or bathe my son, does this mean that the Janabaat is not passed on and the utensils etc are pak. I always thought that it makes all things najis. Or is there a line between wet & dry ( that is understandable). Please advise. I follow taqleed of Ayat. Seestani ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANSWER: Like you say, Janabat is a spiritual state and only Najis-ul-Ayn things spread Najasat when they come into contact with other things and wetness. A Mujnib (Person in the state of Janabat) is not Najis-ul-Ayn Wasalaam, Mustafa
