    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1059/853/B=1431)

    If the clothes worn in the state of menstruation or janabah are clean (tahir) and there is not nijasah (impurity) on them, then it is not necessary to wash them. The clothes do not become impure due to touching the impure body, until the visible impurity of menstruation or janabah appears on them.
