Summary
Clothing or items affected by najis become pure through dry cleaning, so they may be used for prayer. This is the view of Imam Abu Hanifah and the second view in the Maliki and Hanbali schools. Najis may be removed by any means besides water, and the process does not require an intention. However, food and drink must not be used to remove najis without need, as this amounts to wasting property.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pakaian, peralatan atau seumpamanya yang terkena najis, menjadi suci dengan kaedah cucian kering (Dry Clening). Maka pakaian tersebut boleh digunakan untuk menunaikan solat.
