Question:
He says: Shaykh, sometimes we travel and stay in apartments, and we do not have carpets with us, and the apartments are carpeted. Do we pray on them even though we do not know the extent of their purity?
Answer:
The default is purity, and praise be to Allah. As long as you do not see any impurity on it, and you do not know that it is impure, the default is purity. Pray on it. Yes.
