Washing Clothes In A Washing Machine

Question

I just want to know regarding front loader washing machine. Does it purify the clothes like the top loader does?

I own a front loader and heard somewhere that front loader doesn’t take enough water to rinse and hence purify as top loader does. Is there anything like that?

Answer

A front loader washing machine washes and purifies clothes like the top loader does. Clothes washed in a front loader washing machine will be regarded as pure.

أَنَّ الْوَاجِبَ هُوَ التَّطْهِيرُ، وَهَذِهِ الْمَائِعَاتُ تُشَارِكُ الْمَاءَ فِي التَطْهِيرِ؛ لِأَنَّ الْمَاءَ إِنَّا كَانَ مُطَهِّرًا لِكَوْنِهِ مَائِعًا رَقِيقًا يُدَاخَلُ أَثْنَاءَ الثَّوْبِ، فَيُجَاوِرُ أَجْزَاءَ النَّجَاسَةِ، فَيُرَقِّقُهَا إِنْ كَانَتْ كَثِيفَةً، فَيَسْتَخْرِجُهَا بِوَاسِطَةِ الْعَصْرِ، وَهَذِهِ الْمَائِعَاتُ فِي الْمُدَاخَلَةِ، وَالْمُجَاوَرَةِ، وَالتَّرْقِيقِ، مِثْلُ الْمَاءِ فَكَانَتْ مِثْلَهُ فِي إِفَادَةِ الطَّهَارَةِ بَلْ أَوْلَى، فَإِنَّ الْخَرَّ يَعْمَلُ فِي إِزَالَةِ بَعْضِ أَلْوَانٍ لَا تَزُولُ بِالْمَاءِ، فَكَانَ فِي مَعْنَى التَّطْهِيرِ أَبْلَغُ

ثَوْبٌ نَحِسٌ غُسِلَ فِي ثَلَاثِ جِفَانٍ أَوْ فِي وَاحِدَةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَعُصِرَ فِي كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ طَهُرَ لِحِرَيَانِ الْعَادَةِ بِالْغَسْلِ. هَكَذَا فَلَوْ لَمْ يَطْهُرْ لَضَاقَ عَلَى النَّاسِ.
