If I touch daily wear clothes of family as I m the only lady in my house are those clothes become inappropriate for others to wear them
Answer
No, simply touching the daily-wear clothes of your family does not make those clothes inappropriate for others to wear.
In Jain Dharma, ordinary household contact does not make clothes spiritually unsuitable in that way.
Explanation
If you are the only lady in the house and you handle, wash, fold, or arrange family members’ clothes, there is no fault in that by itself.
Clothes may become unsuitable only in practical situations such as:
- They are dirty or unclean.
- They have sweat, blood, bodily discharge, or impurity on them.
- They are used during illness or in an unhygienic condition.
- They are specially reserved for puja, samayik, pratikraman, or religious use and have become physically impure.
But normal touch does not make them improper for others to wear.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma gives importance to inner purity, carefulness, non-violence, cleanliness, and discipline. One should avoid unnecessary fear or guilt in ordinary household duties.
Doing family seva with a clean mind is not wrong.
Takeaway
You may handle your family’s daily-wear clothes without worry. Just maintain normal cleanliness and hygiene.
