Question
I purchased a furnished house. I wanted to remove the oven. However, friends say that washing it is sufficient. I am not satisfied with the oven. The non-Muslim residents must have baked pork in it. What is your advice?
Answer
The oven should firstly be cleaned thoroughly with water three times. Then use detergent and again wash it. The oven will then be paak. However, from the Taqwa point of view, acquire a new oven and give the used one to a poor person or sell it. It is best not to use the oven. For example, if a chamber pot in which people urinated and excreted is thoroughly washed even a hundred times, a Muslim whose brain is not deranged will not eat porridge from that paak chamber pot.
