Ruling on relying on istijmar instead of istinja' despite the proximity of water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My brother (A. B. W. D.), perhaps you listened to the Shaykh’s answer regarding the zakah of jewelry, which would suffice for you to refrain from asking your question—may Allah reward you with good—but he is asking another question of the Shaykh, saying: Is istijmar sufficient in place of istinja', even if a person is near water? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, istijmar is sufficient if one uses paper, or napkins, or stones three times, or more, until the impurity is removed; that is enough. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 44Hasan (Darussalam).
The point is: if one performs istijmar with three stones, or more, until the impurity is removed and the place is cleaned, then it is sufficient for him, and it purifies the place. If he uses water in addition to that, it is better and more complete. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, istijmar is sufficient if one uses paper, or napkins, or stones three times, or more, until the impurity is removed; that is enough. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
When any one of you goes to the Gha'it (toilet to defecate), let him take with him three stones and clean himself with them, for that will suffice him.
إذا ذهب أحدكم إلى الغائط فليستطب بثلاثة أحجار فإنها تجزئ عنهThe point is: if one performs istijmar with three stones, or more, until the impurity is removed and the place is cleaned, then it is sufficient for him, and it purifies the place. If he uses water in addition to that, it is better and more complete. Yes.
