    Person A touched someone in periods,Person A touched clothes in cupboard -is all clothes impure to wear in temple

    Answer

    No, generally all clothes in the cupboard do not become impure just because Person A touched the cupboard clothes after touching someone who was in periods.

    In Jain practice, for going to the temple, the main focus is on:

    • Wearing clean, washed clothes
    • Maintaining personal cleanliness
    • Going with respectful and pure bhav

    If the clothes were simply touched and are otherwise clean, they are not normally considered all unusable for temple.

    Explanation

    In many Jain households, there are traditional cleanliness rules around menstruation, temple-going, puja clothes, kitchen, and religious items. These practices may vary by family, sect, and local tradition.

    But Jain Dharma’s deeper principle is that physical touch alone does not spiritually pollute everything in a chain-like way. For temple worship, one should avoid obvious uncleanliness and wear fresh, clean clothes.

    If you are concerned, a practical approach is:

    • Use a separate freshly washed set of clothes for temple.
    • If a specific garment feels doubtful to you or your family tradition, wash that garment.
    • There is no need to treat the entire cupboard as impure.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Jain Dharma gives great importance to shuddhi — purity of body, speech, mind, and intention. External cleanliness supports inner reverence, but fear and anxiety should not become the center of worship.

    Temple-going should be done with:

    • Vinay — humility
    • Shuddh bhav — pure intention
    • Ahimsa — non-hurtful conduct
    • Samyak shraddha — right faith

    Takeaway

    You may wear clean clothes from the cupboard to the temple. If you still feel unsure, choose freshly washed clothes for peace of mind, but it is not necessary to consider all cupboard clothes impure.
