In my room, I have several tissues placed close to me because I know they are impure or one of them is. I also have a tissue placed far from me, and I doubt that it may have come into contact with the impure tissues nearby, but it moved away from me due to the wind or something similar (usually, there are tissues far from me that are pure). Should I consider it pure or impure?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
It is clear that you are experiencing waswasa (obsessive doubt), as most of the matters you mentioned are uncertain. Therefore, it does not reach the level of a confined doubt, and you cannot assume the impurity of what is on the other side. In any case, your ruling is to disregard it, as the duty of someone with waswasa is to not pay attention in such cases.
May you be successful in all good.
