Using old clothes to clean furniture

Q: Can I use thobes and kufis to clean the furniture or use them as a mop? Are they sacred, and is it sinful to use them in such disrespectful ways?

A: If you are referring to using old clothes that are no longer being worn for this purpose, then it is permissible.

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