What is the ruling on istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) after sleeping or passing wind?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does passing wind or sleeping invalidate the wudu' (ablution for prayer) completely?

Answer:
Yes, but he does not have to perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself). He starts with rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nose, just as in the case of touching the private parts. The common people call this "tamassuh," meaning wudu' (ablution for prayer). Therefore, istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself) is not obligatory for him except in the case of urination, defecation, and the like.
