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:

  1. First, use toilet paper, a stone, or similar materials to clean the area.
  2. 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.
