All things are pure unless the shariah made them impure like alcohol, dogs, pigs, blood, urine.\\n2. When in doubt about something’s purity, go back to rule #1\\n3. Things that are pure by default remain pure, until we are certain they are impure.\\n\\nSo, if you’re in doubt about your shoes being impure, then consider them to be pure. Do not take “Safer Option Rd” because it only goes to one place, OCD central. I’ve seen this happen too often, and it can become debilitating. As for the second part of your question, in order for boots to qualify as khuffs so you can wipe over them, they have to cover the ankles.\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fef0b76658b4c232985","tag":"Salah: Validity","count":156},{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327bd","tag":"Tahara: Impurities and Invalidators","count":52}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:46.040Z"}
