Explanation of Taharah and Samak Procedure from http://www.letspurify.com/ :
Purification or taharah plays a very important role in Islam. A muslim’s ibadah may be rejected if taharah is being neglected. Therefore all muslims have to follow the correct procedures in cleaning and cleansing all kinds of dirt according to syara’ especially when dealing with mughallazah dirt obtained from dogs and pigs.
According to Islam, mughallazah dirt needs to be cleaned (samak) with soil water once; and rinse with clean water six times to ensure taharah or purification is taken place. However, in this modern world a more sophisticated way of performing taharah can be done by using taharah soap or also known as samak soap. Not only it is very convenience but also more hygienic.
