One day, my bird bit a najis object. Will it also become najis or its an animal that can purify itself ?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Bird dropping is not Najis. What do you mean by writing: My bird bit a Najis object?

Wassalam.
If a container of cat food was washed under tap water, causing spills, and some small amount of water was added to purify it without removing the impurity, does that make the sink area impure?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

When tap water is used and the Najis item (A'yn al-Najasah) is removed then there is no question of impurity remains. Cat food by itself is not necessarily Najis unless it contains Najis ingradeint.

If a person touches an object and does not know that it is Najis, and later finds out that it was Najis at the time of touching, what is the ruling on their hand and on the other things they touched before they gained this knowledge?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If he is sure that he touched the item which was in fact Najis, with a wet hand or the item was wet, then his hand became Najis even if he was unaware that it was Najis when he touched it. If he is not sure that his hand was wet or the item was wet when was touched by him, then his hand is Najis. Same also is the rule for other items touched by him later on whether he was sure that his hand was wet or the item itself was wet when it was touched by his Najis hand.

How can I purify my laptop after Najis water - not containing Ayn al-Najasat - fell on it? Since it is not waterproof, I cannot pour Kurr or Qalil water. Would wiping it three times with a wet cloth be effective for purification?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

No, wiping it will not remove the najasah. There must be pouring of water.

You might be better to just keep it that way, although you might be concerned about using it when your hands sweat, etc, or maybe trading the laptop with another new one.

It might be a bit risky, but you can put the laptop upside down, and spray water upwards, hoping it does not go in, and then dry it quickly. It does not need kurr water, and does not need a lot of water as well. This is just a suggestion.
