AL-KAFI #1458 : TERKENA PERCIKAN AIR YANG DIRAGUI KESUCIANNYA
Must a prayer be repeated if clothes were splashed by puddle water whose purity is uncertain?
Short answer
If the purity of the puddle water cannot be determined, the water that splashed onto the clothes is considered pure, based on the principle that a ruling remains as it was before.

Summary
If the purity of the puddle water cannot be determined, the water that splashed onto the clothes is considered pure, based on the principle that a ruling remains as it was before. The prayer already performed does not need to be repeated. However, if a person is certain the water was impure based on clear evidence, such as seeing a dog urinate there, the prayer must be repeated because clothing free from impurity is a condition for a valid prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, jika tidak dapat dipastikan bahawa air lopak tersebut suci ataupun tidak maka air yang terpercik ke pakaian saudara itu dianggap sebagai suci.
