Is it obligatory to wash new clothes before praying in them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The garment is pure, and there is no obligation to wash it, whether it is new or old. This is because the default state of things is purity until their impurity is known. A new garment is pure by this principle, and it is permissible to pray in it without washing.
