Is pouring water over a child's urine on the bed and saying the two testimonies sufficient for washing it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: When the child, may Allah honor you, urinates on the fixed mat of the house, is it sufficient to pour water over it and say, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," or what is the correct method for that? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If the bed becomes ritually impure, then if it is possible to wash and rub it with water until the impurity is removed, that is obligatory. If it is heavy and cannot be lifted and rubbed with water, then water is poured over it in abundance, and that is sufficient. As for saying, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," there is no place for that in this case; rather, it is sufficient to pour water until the impurity is removed. Yes. May Allah reward you.
