How is the ruling regarding distinguishing uncertain garments differentiated from the ruling on uncertain utensils?
Chapter on what purification is achieved with regarding water
Al-Mughni
Book of Purification
Primary text
The distinction from uncertain utensils lies in two aspects. First, the use of an impure garment results in ritual impurity that invalidates the prayer immediately and ultimately, which is not true for the utensil itself in the same manner. Second, prayer in an impure garment is permissible when no alternative exists, a concession not granted for impure water.
