Sewage water mixed with rainwater, and some of it fell on my clothes. What is the ruling on my prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In front of our house is a sewage channel, where the house’s sewage used to flow. Last Thursday, it rained, and the sewage water mixed with the rainwater. Some of that water fell on my clothes. What is the ruling on the prayer I performed in that garment?

The Shaykh:
First, why do you let the sewage flow on…

The questioner:
Either you install a pipe or something to contain it, or you ask the municipality to do something to protect people from the sewage water.

The Shaykh:
Second, since you know that this water is mixed with impurity and it touched your garment, it is impure. You must repeat the prayer; you must wash the impurity and repeat the prayer.
