Performing Salaah with money in one's wallet
Question
Praying with paper money in ones wallet. Should we assume the paper to be clean as people could have touched them with najis hands while using it, like eating pork then touching it. I live in Holland and dutch people who are not Muslims eat pork.
Answer
Don’t entertain unnecessary doubts.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
