Question

Before going to sleep, very small amount of mazi comes out. After waking up it is impossible to locate exactly which part of the garment has the impurity. What should be done in this case? Can salaah be offered without washing the garment since the mazi is not apparent?

Answer

Wash the area that you more or less feel was affected with mazi.
