In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

We have received your query dated 03/08/2021 , our answer is as follows :

Yes , what you have learnt is correct , Najaasatul-Khafeefa is excused when it is ¼ or less of the body or the garment.

The determination will be as follows :

1. If the Najaasatul-Khafeefa falls on the body then each limb will be counted separately , i.e. ¼ of the hand or ¼ of the foot .
2. If the Najaasatul-Khafeefa happens to fall on ones clothes this will not refer to ¼ of the entire garment, rather ¼ of each separate part of the garment i.e. ¼ of the sleeve or ¼ of the lower garment etc.^[1]

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
