SalaahConditions for the validity of SalaahImpurity on body, clothes or place of Salaah

Question

I set a musalla (prayer mat) on an impure ground. However the ground had no signs of impurity on it. If my feet get off the musalla (prayer mat) and touch the ground during salaah for just a short period of time, will my prayer be valid? No impurity came on my feet and the ground had no signs of impurity.

Answer

If there is no visible or perceivable impurity the namaaz is valid.

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