Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
Since the moisture in clothes taken from modern washing machines does not constitute a continuous body of water, impurity is not deemed to transfer to the clothes that did not directly touch the najis surface. Moreover, even if there is contact between the clothing and the floor of the basket, if there is no significant moisture transfer, the clothes will not become najis.
May you be successful in all good.
