    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 303/228/L=1431)

     

    Washing stones not absorbing impurity is necessary if it is smeared with impurity.

    في الخانية: الحجر إذا أصابته النجاسة إن كان حجراً يتشرب النجاسة كحجر الرحى يكون يبسه طهارة ، و إن كان لا يتشرب لا يطهر إلا بالغسل (شامي).

    So, in the abovementioned question this tile shall be washed in such a way that the impurity is surely removed. If by cleaning the floor once with wet cloth the removal of impurity is assured then it shall be enough to clean once.
