Sitting on a sofa which was messed with urine

Q: My wife is suffering from a serious disorder about purity. This is all due to urine.

If a child has urinated on a sofa and if someone sits there after its dried without being cleaned, will the other person be impure? Does he/she have to change their clothes?

If he/she sits somewhere else with those same clothes, would that place also be impure?

My wofe is really not well because of this and she’s always washing things, beds, clothes. etc. 

A: If the urine had dried and someone sat on the sofa, then the person will not become impure. However, if the urine on the sofa had not yet dried and was still moist, then through sitting on the sofa, some impurity transferred onto one's clothes, then one's clothes will become impure.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
