Summary
Scholars differ on the ruling for smoke produced by burning impure substances. In the Shafi'i school, such smoke is excused if it is slight or leaves no trace on clothing. If its effect is visible on clothing, it is regarded as impure and must be removed. If it is unknown whether the smoke comes from an impure source and there is no sign of this, it is ruled pure.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dan sekiranya kesan asap daripada pembakaran najis memberi kesan kepada pakaian sehingga ternampak warna asap pada pakaiannya maka ia dianggap sebagai najis dan dituntut untuk menghilangkannya.
