Summary
A motorcycle tyre that comes into contact with dog impurity does not need to be cleansed with soil. The same ruling applies to the tyres of cars, lorries, buses and other vehicles, as well as to slippers or shoes worn daily. The reason given is that this falls under general hardship (umum al-balwa), and tyres are constantly used where they touch soil, water, grass and the like.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tayar motor tidak perlu disamak. Sama seperti tayar kereta, lori, bas dan kenderaan lain.
