In Islam, cleaning the private parts after urination is an important act of purification known as Istinjaa. It is obligatory for removing impurity.
Here's a breakdown of how to perform Istinjaa:
Istinjaa can be performed using one of the following methods, or a combination of them:
- Using Toilet Paper or a Stone (or Similar Materials): This involves using toilet paper, a clean stone, or other similar materials to remove the majority of the impurity.
- Using Water: This involves washing the private parts with water until you are certain that all traces of impurity have been removed.
Recommended Method
The preferred method is to combine both:
- First, use toilet paper, a stone, or similar materials to clean the area.
- Then, wash the area thoroughly with water to ensure complete purification.
Additional Notes
- Ensure the materials used (toilet paper, stone, etc.) are clean and free from impurities.
- Water used for Istinjaa should be clean and pure.
- The aim is to completely remove all traces of urine.
- Istinjaa should be performed privately.
