Question: How many times can Najasat be transmitte?
Salam u Aleykum

I´ve heard that it is held by some scholars, that a thing which has become najis transmits its najasat, but indefinite number of transmissions is improbable. For example, if the right hand of a person becomes najis with urine, and then, while still wet, it touches his left hand, the left hand will also become najis. Now, if the left hand after having dried up, touches a wet cloth, that cloth will also become najis, but, if that cloth touches another wet thing, this thing will not become najis.

My question now is whether this is right or wrong according to the hanafi-school.

In principle, Najasat will only transmit onto another thing when the effects of Najasat is visible like the smell and colour. So when both things (pure and impure) are wet or when a pure dry thing has become wet to such an extent because of being in contact with a wet impure thing or vice versa, then it will become impure. Otherwise, if the dry thing has not become wet to such an extent and there are no visible traces of Najasat then it will not become impure.

لف طاهر في نجس مبتل بماء ان بحيث لو عصر قطر يتنجس والالا

(الدرالمختارمع ردالمحتار باب الأنجاس ج. 1 ص.347 سعيد)

وكذا أي لايتنجس لونشر الثوب المبلول الطاهر على مكان يابس نجس فابتل منه لكن لم يظهرعين النجاسة في الثوب
