Answer

Yes, generally it is okay to use those clothes for a Jain temple visit without washing them, if they were only touched and not worn, and they remained clean.

Explanation

For a temple visit, clothes should ideally be:

• Clean
• Modest
• Free from sweat, dirt, or impurity
• Not previously worn in an unclean condition

If the clothes were only touched by someone’s hands and were not worn, they are not automatically considered unsuitable. However, if the hands were dirty, oily, sweaty, or the clothes fell somewhere unclean, then washing would be better.

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, temple visit is done with purity of body, speech, and mind. Clean clothes support a respectful and devotional attitude, but unnecessary worry should also be avoided.

Takeaway

If the clothes are visibly clean, fresh, and only touched—not worn—then you may wear them for the temple.
