Will i be punish

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwaa.com

Assalamu alaikum
A room was entered with a shoe that was woer to toilet and the water touched the room floor and dry & kids bed was spread on the floor sometimes they urine touch the floor so we clean the floor everyday but today we didn’t and a guest came and ablute and entered the room with bare foot to pray. I wanted to tell that the floor was not clean but I didn’t saying she didn’t know and she’ll be not be hold at fault. So I prayed on the same praying mat and I was praying I starting thinking what if the guest has matched on a place that there’s impurity in the room and has touched the praying mat but I ignore it because am suffering from waswasa/strong doubt and I read a fatwa that if am not certain I should ignore so i ignored it and continue my prayer. My question is would I be hold at fault for not telling the guest that there might be impurity on the floor as I can’t say where exactly the impurity is? My heart is not at ease.

Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

What you have heard is correct. Do not worry or assume that there is impurity based on mere doubt.

There is no sin for not informing the guest.

And Allaah Ta’aala knows best

Wassalaam,
