The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : It is well known that istinja' is done with water and istijmar with something else.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith that he forbade performing istinja' with a bone.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Even though the bone.
The Shaykh : The term applies to both this and that; istinja' applies to both of them. However, when one says istinja' and istijmar, the former becomes specific to stones and the latter to water.
