Q: I was wondering if it will be permissible to use antibacterial spray such as detol or zaflora to remove najasah on surfaces like doors, door handles and radiators by spraying and then drying with tissue paper.
I also read in a fatwaa that if the spray causes side effects you cannot use it. The sprays I have say they cause eye irritation. Does this mean I can't use it. Can you please respond as I need to know cause it will cause me alot of difficulty cleaning the radiators without spraying them and having to use a wet piece of tissue then a dry one. I also feel if I use a wet cloth I will just spread najasah everywhere.
A: Yes, it is permissible on condition that after you spray the dettol, you dry it with a tissue in such a manner that all the traces of najaasat are completely removed.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
