Doubts regarding urine drops

· 20 Jumada I 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Whilst I was urinating, I felt as though a drop may have touched my leg as I thought I felt it. The question I have is that I am unsure if there was urine on my trousers and I assumed they were clean and prayed my Salaah. Was my Salaah valid, and also, if a scenario like this occurred in future where I am unsure, should I assume that my clothes are clean or my clothes are dirty?

Answer

As long as you are not certain, regard yourself as pure.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
