Exceeding three stones in istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If Allah protects you, Your Eminence the Shaykh, is it permissible to exceed the three stones if they are not sufficient? Yes.
Answer:
He should try it, and so on. As for the hadith regarding mocking urine, in which it is stated that the majority of the punishment of the grave is from urine, there is a concern regarding its chain of narration. However, al-Hakim narrated it with a sound chain, using the wording that the majority of the punishment of the grave is from urine. Thus, each one corroborates the other; each one serves as evidence for the other. This indicates the need to be cautious regarding being lax about urine. The hadith of the two graves is among the greatest points of doubt for this reason. Yes.
