Question:
The questioner, may Allah grant you success, asks: What is the default ruling regarding ritual purity? Is it istinja' or istijmar? Because I have heard that the default in this matter is istijmar.
Answer:
Both are permissible and equal. If one performs istijmar, that is sufficient, and if one performs istinja', that is sufficient. However, they say that if one wants to limit oneself to one of the two, istinja' is better.
