The default ruling for ink and the area between the thigh and the testicle is purity. Prayer performed with them is valid. The area does not need to be washed unless its impurity is confirmed. When performing for major ritual impurity, care must be taken to ensure water reaches this area, as it is among the hidden places that must be sought out.
