The ruling on praying in clothes that contain a small amount of impurity that is doubtful

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The issue of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and the questioner asks: Does one pray in clothes that contain impurity? In clothes that contain a small amount of impurity, considering that it spreads from the toilet and the like, with evidence. Knowing that the time for such small impurities is difficult and may not be possible.

Answer:
This is waswas (whispers of doubt), this is waswas. The impurity that is not evident and clear has no basis; the default is purity. But some people have waswas that everything becomes impure, and that if they forget in the bathroom it becomes impure, and that if they clean themselves with water, it splashes on them and becomes impure. This is waswas. The impurity that is not clear and certain is not acted upon and does not have an effect, if Allah wills. The impurity that is doubtful does not have an effect; the default is its absence.
