Doubts about the purity of the glue used on wooden flooring
Question
I have a wooden flooring and I found out after it has been placed that those who placed it used a wood glue which could contain najais substances. Actually, I read the notice on the box but not the full list of components was given, instead it wrote '...and other selected chemicals.' I am not sure if it contains alcohol or something. Can I pray Salah on it?
Answer
If you are not certain that impure substance were used then regard it as paak.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
