Doubting some impurity on one's clothing

Q: I once saw some white residue on my washed pants. Our clothes washed in the washing machine never have detergent residue. I don't know why my pants had that. The problem is I didn't know which other clothes were washed with the pants. Are all the clothes impure? Should I repeat any salah?

A: Just wash the area upon which you have doubts, and regard all the other clothes to be paak.

If you performed any salaah with the same clothing, and the impurity was more than the size of the inner circumference of your palm, then you should repeat your salaah. If the impurity was less than this amount, then you do not need to repeat your salaah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
