Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
If you are certain that the clothes are impure and then doubt whether they have become pure, you cannot declare them pure unless you are certain of their purity. This applies to both those who are scrupulous and those who are not. However, if a scrupulous person has declared the clothes impure based on their doubts before putting them in the washing machine, and no one else would declare them impure in such a case, or if the doubt about their purity arises from their scrupulousness while others would confidently declare them pure, then you should not pay attention to the impurity they declared. Instead, you should consider them pure, even in the scenario presented in the question.
May you be successful in all good.
