It is permissible to pray on a prayer rug whose place or manufacturer of origin is unknown, for the fundamental principle regarding things is purity unless their impurity is proven. What a tailor or shoemaker produces is considered pure, whether the craftsman is a Muslim or a disbeliever, whether they pray or not, because craftsmen generally take care in their work.
