Are clothes or objects that have been touched after touching the private parts without a barrier, and without any visible or odorous impurity, considered impure? And is it obligatory to repeat the prayer if one feels, after ablution and prayer, that he did not cleanse himself well, despite there being no trace or smell of impurity, and suspecting that this is due to waswasah (whispers from Satan)?

If a person touches a pure, sensitive area with his hand, his hand does not become impure, nor do the clothes he touches afterwards. The mere smell of impurity is not considered impurity. If the prayer is interrupted due to waswasah (whispers of Satan/obsessive thoughts), it becomes invalid and must be repeated.
