Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The correct view regarding the issue of doubtful clothing is that, since Your Eminence stated in your explanation of *al-Zad* on the radio that the correct view is likely to exercise caution and pray one prayer,
Answer:
that is what some scholars have said. However, upon reflection, exercising caution does not remove the impurity. We have a better option than this, which is the chapter of precaution. One should pray a number of prayers equal to the number of potentially impure ones, plus one additional prayer, thereby removing the doubt with certainty. Is that difficult? No, it is not a burden. It is not a hardship, if Allah wills. Yes, it clears his conscience. Yes.
