Summary
Soap containing clay may be used for the ritual cleansing of najis mughallazah. The clay must be pure, and its proportion in the soap must exceed that of the other ingredients. The cleansing method must also follow Islamic law. This was decided at the 76th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee in November 2006.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
