Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. There is a second point. He says: What is the meaning of the phrase, "If one is certain of purity, he is pure, and if one is certain of impurity, he is in a state of impurity"? The word "certain" means: if a person performs wudu' and becomes ritually pure, and then he doubts whether his wudu' was broken or not, he proceeds on the basis of the original state, which is purity.
Answer:
Because certainty is not removed by doubt. And if the situation is the reverse, where a person knows that he is not in a state of purity, and then he doubts whether he performed wudu' or not, the original state is that he is not in a state of purity, so he has to perform wudu'.
