Is it permissible to pray in a garment that has impurity on it which is difficult to remove, such as blood?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Or is it permissible to pray in a garment that has impurity on it which is difficult to remove, such as blood?

Answer:
The impurity is washed until its effect is gone, whether in color, taste, or smell. If it is washed sufficiently and an effect remains that one is unable to remove, such as the color, there is no harm in that. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the woman to wash the menstrual blood that falls on her garment, to rub it, then to pinch it, then to sprinkle it with water. Then he said to her (peace and blessings be upon him): "It does not harm you if its effect remains." This means that if it is washed sufficiently and an effect remains that water does not remove, it does not harm after that. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
