Question

I want to ask you that if your clothes are napak (impure) and you sit somewhere or sleep on your bed, does your bed and everything on which you sit will become napak (impure).

Answer

Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,

If the impurities on the clothes soiled the sitting or sleeping places then these places will also become impure. But if there were no traces of the impurity found on these places then they will remain pure and unaffected [1]

 كتاب نور الايضاح ونجاة الارواح - (1 / 13)
ولو ابتل فراش أو تراب نجسان من عرق نائم أو بلل قدم وظهر أثر النجاسة في البدن والقدم تنجسا وإلا فلا كما لا ينجس ثوب جاف طاهر لف في ثوب نجس رطب لا ينعصر الركب لو عصر

إذَا لَفَّ الثَّوْبَ النَّجِسَ في الثَّوْبِ الطَّاهِرِ وَالنَّجِسُ رَطْبٌ فَظَهَرَتْ نَدَاوَتُهُ في الثَّوْبِ الطَّاهِرِ لَكِنْ لم يَصِرْ رَطْبًا بِحَيْثُ لو عُصِرَ يَسِيلُ منه شَيْءٌ وَلَا يَتَقَاطَرُ فَالْأَصَحُّ أَنَّهُ لَا يَصِيرُ نَجِسًا

تبيين الحقائق وحاشية الشلبي - (1 / 70)
فَقَدْ ذُكِرَ فِيهَا إذَا لَفَّ الثَّوْبَ النَّجِسَ الرَّطْبَ فِي الثَّوْبِ الطَّاهِرِ الْجَافِّ فَظَهَرَتْ فِيهِ نَدْوَةٌ وَلَمْ يَصِرْ بِحَيْثُ يَقْطُرُ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ إذَا عُصِرَ اخْتَلَفَ الْمَشَايِخُ فِيهِ وَالْأَصَحُّ أَنَّهُ لَا يَتَنَجَّسُ
