Question:
And if I am wearing a sock in the vineyard, and I am in a state of ritual purity, and the sock is touched by something I do not know, and I am in battle, and I do not know whether it is impure or not? As for what is obligatory
Answer:
Or if it is impure, the default, especially in the mosque and the sacred precinct, is purity, and that this water is pure, if Allah wills, until you know that this water is impure. As long as you do not know, the default is that it is pure, and you may pray in it, and there is no harm, and praise be to Allah.
