The answer

The jurists are in agreement regarding the purity of the sweat of a person in a state of major ritual impurity (junub), whether this impurity resulted from sexual intercourse, a wet dream, or masturbation. This has been authentically reported from Ibn 'Umar, Ibn 'Abbas, 'A'isha, and others. It is also the view of Malik, Al-Shafi'i, and the jurists of independent reasoning (Ahl al-Ra'y). They cited as evidence the of Abu Hurayrah: "Indeed, a believer does not become impure." They also cited the Hadith of the woman who dipped her hand, while in a state of major ritual impurity, into a vessel, whereupon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Water does not become impure due to major ritual impurity." Therefore, there is no harm in praying in clothes that have been sweated in by a person in a state of major ritual impurity.
