Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If impure clothes are washed once with water connected to the flowing water (kar), after the impurity has been removed, they become pure. They also become pure if the inside of the washing machine was clean before placing the clothes in it, and if they are washed twice with a small amount of water and the washing machine discharges the usual amount of water.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
Purification is achieved if done with pure water (twice for clothes contaminated with urine — even if using a large amount of water, as a precaution — and once for other impurities). The fact that the washing machine discharges water during drying due to centrifugal force does not invalidate the purification.
