The ruling on leaving off istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) in the case of waswas (whispers)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question is that when I get up after relieving myself, which is urination, I find drops coming out of the penis, and this happens constantly. So I say to myself that this is waswas from Shaytan, and I leave off istinja' again. Is that permissible for me?

Answer:
If this is waswas, then yes. But if it is an actual occurrence, then istinja' is necessary. If it is waswas, leave it. However, I advise you not to be hasty. The waswas will be removed from you, by the permission of Allah, if you do not rush until it dries up. Let the exit dry up. Do not rush into wudu' (the ablution for prayer) until the exit has dried up so that you are certain of that. Yes.
