The answer

The water falling from the hand is pure unless it separated from an impurity before the impurity was removed. If there is doubt about its contact with impurity, the original ruling is purity. As for a ritually impure rug, it is not permissible to pray on it before purifying it. If the location of the impurity is hidden and cannot be pinpointed, the entire rug must be washed. All of this applies when one is certain of the presence of impurity; however, if there is doubt, the original ruling is purity.
