If there is a possibility that an impurity is present on an object without any visible or odorant indication, does it still hold the status of being Najis?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Just possibility does not establish a concrete evidence of impurity. Everything is Taahir for you unless and until you know that it is Najis. You need to know for sure that it is Najis. Visibility or odor of the Najis item is not necessary which means some Najis items fall on an object in a tiny amount which does not leave a visible trace or odor, but the object has become Najis. Visibility or odor of Najis item can be an evidence in some cases.

I knew I was wearing something that was Najis but didn’t realize the impurity was transferring to my body when I washed myself in the bathroom. I changed my clothes when I prayed but did not realize my body was Najis while praying. Is my prayer valid?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Doubting whether the Najasat has transferred to your body or cloth or not, does not make your body or cloth Najis. You can consider everything as Tahir unless and until you know for sure that it is Najis.

'If you are sure that you performed a Prayer while your body or cloth were Najis, then you need to be Tahir and perform that Prayer again.

If my shoes become Najis from animal urine or suchlike on the road and get dry by themselves, what is rule for purity when later water drops fall on them and my clothes touch the shoes with that wetness?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If the down side of the shoes becomes Najis, then walk ten steps after removal of the Najis item, lower part of the shoes becomes Tahir.

'If the upper part of the shoes becomes Najis, you must wash it with water after removing the Najis item if any.

I am not sure if the ground at my school is Najis and sometimes in PE outside or during break I sit on the ground. Do my clothes or part of my body become impure?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. Everything is Tahir for you until you know for sure that it is Najis. As you are not sure that the ground is Najis, you can consider it as Tahir.

Wassalam.
