Working in the laundry business

Question 2852

Dear brother,
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahamathulla
A muslim friend of mine intends to start a Laundry & Dry cleaning business. Can you please clari?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

There is nothing wrong with doing this kind of work, so long as the conditions laid down by Sharee’ah are adhered to. These include proper removal of najaasah (impurities) from the clothes, which may be done using water or by any other means (according to the most correct opinion), so that no trace of najaasah is left. And Allaah knows best.
