The ruling on the trace of impurity remaining after istinja'
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), regarding istinja', sometimes a slight trace of impurity remains. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
He has to clean himself with stones, and whatever he is unable to remove is excused. The important thing is that he cleans himself according to the command. The traces that remain are not apparent, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It suffices for him." This indicates that if he searches and strives to clean himself, it is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. As for traces remaining that water alone can remove, they are not apparent. However, if the cleaning removes the traces of feces and the traces of urine with three stones or more, and the cleaning is achieved by that, it is sufficient. As for the trace that only water can remove, it does not harm.
