Answer:

Clothes stained by the urine of a rabbit.

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

The urine of a rabbit is pure according to the view of the majority of the scholars. So, if a person, whose clothes or body are touched by the urine of a rabbit, performs a prayer, his prayer is valid, and his prayer is valid even if the place on which he performs the prayer is touched as well, that is because we are allowed to eat the meat of a rabbit. 

Allaah Knows best.
