What is the ruling on praying in a garment that has a slight trace, such as a yellow line resulting from sweat from the anus or dirt that appears after relieving oneself and the impurity has been removed, or an old stain that was not removed by the washing machine, and what is the ruling on not knowing which of these situations applies?

If a Muslim is not certain about the impurity of a mark found on their garment, they should not rule it impure based merely on doubt, as it could potentially be sweat or a stain after washing. If a Muslim washes the suspected area on the garment when intending to pray in it, that is more cautious.
