Question:
May Allah reward you. Some of the sisters say that sometimes we travel and stay in apartments, and we do not have carpets with us, and the apartments are furnished. Do we pray on them, even though we do not know how pure they are?
Answer:
The default, praise be to Allah, is purity. So, as long as you do not know that this carpet or this spot is impure, pray on it, and your prayer is valid, praise be to Allah, because the default is purity. Yes.
