Clarification that the original state is purity unless one is certain of impurity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Q111: The questioner asks: When can one rule that clothes are impure? Is it by seeing it and being certain, or by mere possibility and doubt?
A111: Doubt and possibility have no ruling; the original state is purity, unless you are certain and know that impurity has fallen on this garment, or on this spot, or on your body. If you are certain of this, it is obligatory for you to wash it and remove it.
