The falling of the shemagh on the bathroom floor while it is wet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I was performing wudu' in the bathroom, and my shemagh fell from my head onto the bathroom floor. I quickly picked it up, but I found some wetness on it. What is the ruling on praying in it? And if it is impure, what should I do about the prayer I performed in it?

Answer:
The default is purity, and the default for the bathroom is cleanliness, unless you know that it is impure. If you know that it is impure, you wash the garment and repeat the prayer. But if you do not know that it is impure, the default is purity, and praise be to Allah.
