Summary
Najis hukmi refers to impurity that has dried and whose traces, namely smell, colour and taste, are no longer present. An example is trousers that were soiled with urine, then dried and show no visible trace. The ruling distinguishes it from najis aini, which still has a visible substance or apparent qualities such as colour or smell.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Najis Hukmi pula ialah semua najis yang telah kering dan kesannya iaitu bau, warna dan rasa telah hilang.
