Answer

No, simply touching the daily-wear clothes of your family members does not make those clothes inappropriate for them to wear for mandir or samayik.

In Jain practice, clothes become unsuitable mainly when they are physically unclean, worn during impure activities, or not appropriate for worship due to lack of cleanliness or modesty.

Explanation

For mandir, puja, pratikraman, or samayik, the ideal is to wear clothes that are:

• Clean and washed
• Simple and modest
• Not sweaty, dirty, or stained
• Not used while eating, sleeping, bathroom work, or other unclean activities
• Kept separately if possible for religious use

If you are handling family clothes as part of normal household duties, that alone does not make them unsuitable.

However, if your hands are unclean due to cooking, cleaning, bathroom work, menstrual impurity practices followed in your family tradition, or touching something visibly dirty, then it is better to wash hands before touching clothes meant for religious use.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma gives importance to both:

• External cleanliness — clean body, clean clothes, clean place
• Internal purity — calm mind, humility, non-violence, devotion, and awareness

For samayik especially, the deeper focus is on becoming steady in equanimity and reducing attachment, anger, pride, deceit, and greed.

Takeaway

Your touching family members’ daily clothes does not automatically make them improper for mandir or samayik. If the clothes are clean and respectfully worn, they may be used. For stricter household or sect traditions, follow the guidance of your family elders or guru.
