What does a person do if he wants to pray and a pure garment is confused with impure garments?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a pure garment is confused with impure garments, should I pray the number of times equal to the number of garments, or should I make an effort to determine the truth and pray? And what is the rule in this matter?

Answer:
The school of thought is that you pray the number of times equal to the number of impure garments and add one prayer for a single garment to exit from doubt with certainty. You pray the number of the impure ones and add one garment to them to exit from the number. And the correct opinion, if Allah wills, is that he makes an effort to determine the truth and strives, and prays in what he believes to be the pure one. Yes.
