Impure smell on clothing
Question
There is smell of najasah on a piece of clothing, but no najasah is visible, only smell. (a) Will a salah prayed in this clothing be valid? (b) Does the clothing have to be washed?
Answer
If there is no najaasah whatsoever then the clothing is paak.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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