Using furniture of a non-Muslim

Question Detail:

I am a muslim living in dalllas. I have moved to dallas 5 months back . My colleague who is from ukraine and non-muslim,, knowing  hve any furnitue at home, asked his uncle(who is fro ukraine or from europe and non-muslim), who was looking for someone to give his old ofa, to give me that sofa. I did not refuse the offer, as it would have been impolite.
 
I admit that i have history of OCD.When they sent me the sofa, it was old but had no stains on them But i developed doubts on that and  did not sit on it. Few days later my friends came to my house nd they sat on that sofa.
 
I have two question:
1. is that sofa clean?Can i sit on it  without cleaning, i am sngle and dont have time fro cleaning sofa
2. if not, my friends sat on it and later sat on other places. Are those places which were touched by my friennds after sitting on that sofa are unclean

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The sofa that was given to you by the non-Muslim family will be regarded as pure as long as you do not find any impurity on it.[1] Hence, you may sit on it without cleaning it.
And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best
