Is the prayer valid in a garment that retains a slight trace of cat urine after it has been washed?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A cat, may Allah reward you, urinated on one of my garments, so I washed the garment. When I wanted to wear it, I found a slight trace of that urine remaining. Is the prayer valid in it?

The Shaykh:
If you washed it sufficiently and a color remains that you are unable to remove, there is no harm; you may pray in it.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the menstruating woman to pray in her garment, to wash it, to rub it, and to pinch it, and then he said, "Its trace does not harm you," meaning that if a trace remains after these actions, it does not cause harm.
