Impurity spreading on one's clothing
Question
1. If I have filth on my clothes less than a dirham size and my clothes get wet from the filth area, does this increase the filth size?
2. Can I pray in those clothes?
Answer
1. If the filth expands with the water touching it then obviously the filth will expand.
2. If the filth has spread to more than a dirham then salaah cannot be performed with such clothes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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