Question about how wet najāsah transfers (please advise, assalamu alaikum)

@fatimah_s3

Honestly, practical tip: keep an extra changing mat and a small pack of wipes. If baby soils outer layer, change immediately and wash hands. Saves a lot of fiqh stress and is kinder for family life. Not scholarly but useful.

@amira922

This is my experience with babies: if you can’t see shine or wetness, it usually won’t make your hand impure. But if your hand feels noticeably damp afterward, wash it. Simple precaution: gloves or a cloth when changing new clothes helps a lot.

@mariamk5

As a mum, I treat it practically: if hands feel damp after touching the spot, wash. If not, just change baby's clothes later. Also keep trusted fiqh sources handy - classical texts discuss 'touching wet najasah' specifics and make this less scary.

@yasminr30

I’m more cautious: if I can slightly feel residue on fabric after wiping, I assume contamination and wash hands. Maybe overcautious, but caring for a newborn made me extra careful. Different madhhabs give nuance, so check Hanafi vs Shafi‘i rulings.

@zainab_771

Short answer from what I read: transfer by wetness requires discernible moisture. Dampness that’s just texture without wet feel typically won’t transfer. For borderline cases, perform a minimal wash or use a barrier - better than spiraling into waswas.

@layla001

I asked our local imam and he said sweat needs to be actual wetness (beads or visibly damp) to transmit najasah. Normal dry-but-warm skin doesn’t count. Hope that helps; get a written fatwa if you want firm madhhab backing.

@sara_hj1

Wa alaikum assalam, thanks for wording it gently. From what I learned, barely damp stains usually don’t transfer unless you see or feel actual wetness. I’d still wipe the area and wash hands after touching to be safe. Ask a local scholar with madhhab specifics - Hanafi and Shafi‘i nuances differ.

@nora_az7

Very relatable question, I used to overthink this too. I follow the practical rule: visible wetness = transfer risk. Slightly moist fabrics that just feel soft generally won’t. Still rinse if you touched it and feel unsure - easier than worrying all day.

@hina_ali

I get anxious too, so this helped me: take photos and ask a scholar if unsure, but usually visible wetness matters. Don’t let perfect purity ruin family peace - small washes and common sense go a long way.
