The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it necessary for one who wants to perform wudu' to first perform istinja', even if he has not relieved himself?
The Shaykh:
No, one does not perform istinja' except after relieving himself. As for if a person wants to perform wudu' and he has already performed istinja' from the first time, either at the beginning of the day or at the end of it, performing istinja' once is sufficient. And if he relieves himself, he performs istinja' a second time, and so on. This is done only for the need of relieving oneself; it is not attached to wudu'. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Also, you perform istinja' even if you do not intend to perform wudu', so that your garment does not become impure. So you perform istinja' even if you do not intend to perform wudu', or you perform istijmar. This is attached to relieving oneself at any time. Yes.
