Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Basically, I read all of my namaaz at the end of the day because I have a shower and wear clean clothes. The reason why I do not read my namaaz on time is that on purpose I don’t do Istinjaa properly when doing urine\/stool which therefore makes my boxers\/clothes impure. (Sometimes have to use public toilets\/work toilets and water is not available) And now I’m starting to get an OCD cleaning problem. I believe if I know step by step(in extreme detail) on how to do istinjaa properly after doing urine\/stool then this could all go away and I can start reading my namaaz on time and without changing my clothes or having a shower every time. Also, it will help to stop thinking everything is dirty or impure.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I really need an explained and good answer please in sha allah.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Firstly it is compulsory that one ensures that the drops of urine have ceased and that one\u2019s heart is content according to one\u2019s general habit, either by walking, coughing, lying down, or any other method. It is Sunnah to do istinja with a cleansing stone (paper) or the like.\u00a0 To perform istinja with water is preferred. The best is to combine both water and stone, first by wiping with the stone and then washing.\u00a0 To use only water or to wipe with stones alone is also permissible.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the beginning of istinja, it is preferable to use toilet paper 3 times. If istinjaa is being done on a hot day, then the person should start from the front to the back and then from the back to the front and the third time from the front to the back. If Istinjaa is being done on a cold day, then he should begin from the back to the front.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After wiping, he should wash his hand first, and then he should cleanse himself with 2 fingers and 3 fingers if necessary together with \u2018pouring\u2019 water. When using the 2 fingers, one should keep the middle finger in front and the ring and index finger behind it. After beginning with the fingers in this position, he should bring the ring finger forward and rub it with the middle finger and ring finger. Thereafter, he will wipe with the index finger, if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He should continue until all the impurities and smells are removed. The leftover water after Istinjaa is paak only if there is no impurity in it. [1]<\/span><\/p>\n
