Adventures as a new revert: on my way to the #Masjid for #Jumu’ah and a bird, likely a pigeon, pooped on clothing I really can’t remove.

WELL: I am taking #Maliki #Fiqh classes online for very short money at the excellent Safina Society of New Brunswick, NJ. I flailed in their WhatsApp group for a minute re: the predicament, then thought to check my class notes on the Ashmawiyyah, the basic beginner fiqh text in the #Maghrib for this #Madhab.

Sure enough, there’s a clear answer. If what pooped on you is #Halal to eat, its poop does NOT break physical impurity and if all other preconditions are met, you can go ahead with #Salat. Since I would happily make the culprit into squab if I could, I’m all set for jumu’ah.

Ofc I cleaned up in a café bathroom anyway because, ew.
