Prayer after stepping in impure water out of forgetfulness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man says: I stepped with my feet in impure water. In impure water. I was on my way to the mosque, then I forgot to wash them, so I prayed. What is the ruling on my prayer?
Answer:
If it is confirmed one hundred percent that this water is impure, otherwise the default is purity. But if it is confirmed one hundred percent that there is no doubt that this water is impure, then he must wash his foot, because this is part of removing impurity. But if he forgot and prayed, his prayer is valid.[Al-Baqarah 2:286] So if he forgot and prayed while there was impurity on his garment, his foot, or something else, his prayer is valid. Yes.

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
