The ruling on praying while in doubt about the impurity of one's garment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, O Shaykh, says that she is afflicted with obsessive doubts regarding purity. Her question is: If we are unaware of the impurity of a place or a garment, is our prayer valid?
Answer:
The default is purity in the garment, the spot, and the body. The default is purity. If you become certain that impurity has occurred, then the place, the body, or the spot that the impurity touched becomes impure. You wash it with water, and, praise be to Allah, the impurity is removed. As for mere doubt or illusions, these are not to be heeded, because the default is purity in the place, the body, and the garment. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
