The Ruling on Washing the Two Passages in Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, the questioner says: In wudu', is it necessary for me to wash the two passages, even though I do not need to relieve myself?
Answer:
Washing the two passages, which is called istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), is obligatory only after relieving oneself in order to remove the trace of what has come out. Istijmar (cleaning with stones) and the like, which purifies the passage from the trace of what has come out, is sufficient in place of istinja'. If a person performs istinja' or istijmar and nothing comes out of him afterward, he does not repeat istinja' with every wudu', unless something of urine or feces comes out of him. Istinja' is the removal of ritual impurity, and it is not part of wudu'. Yes.
