Question:
Is istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) obligatory with every wudu' (ablution for prayer), or not?
Answer:
Istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) is not obligatory except when there is a need. If he has relieved himself, he removes the trace of what came out by istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) or by using stones once, and he does not repeat the istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) unless he relieves himself again. Istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) or using stones is not among the obligatory acts of the ablution, but rather it is the removal of impurity, the removal of impurity only. So if he has removed it, there is no need to repeat that, except if something else comes out of him again.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
