Q: I travel for work and sometimes my agent takes me around in his vehicle. There are times when his vehicle has some dog hair on the seats and on the floor. By me sitting on the seat, some of the hair may come onto my clothes which I try and remove. Can I read salaah or are my clothes napaak?

A: The saliva of the dog is napaak. The hair of the dog is not napaak. However, you should remove the hair and thereafter perform the salaah.

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