Question
In manufacturing equipment wheat is used for cleansing after haraam products are prepared. Water cannot be used to clean these utensils. A swab test shows that no haraam residue remains in the equipment. Will the halaal product prepared in such utensils be halaal?
Answer
The equipment will remain impure even if wheat is used to clean the system, and even if a swab test indicates that there is no residue of the haraam substances. If water cannot be used, a pure chemical liquid may be used, if this is possible. A pure liquid which is not fatty, e.g. vinegar, etc. could be used to clean an impure utensil/ equipment. But if this too is not possible, then the products prepared in such equipment will be haraam.
