Is it enough to clean the tile floor with a dry cloth once after a 9-month-old urinates?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I have 9 month old child.She normally urinates very frequently around the floor, which is made of tiles. It is very difficult every time to clean the place thrice and also we unknowingly step into place, with wet feet after wudu, which is dry now but spolied before with urine. Please let me know if is sufficient to clean the place with dry clothe once.

Answer

(Fatwa: 303/228/L=1431)

Washing stones not absorbing impurity is necessary if it is smeared with impurity.

في الخانية: الحجر إذا أصابته النجاسة إن كان حجراً يتشرب النجاسة كحجر الرحى يكون يبسه طهارة ، و إن كان لا يتشرب لا يطهر إلا بالغسل (شامي).

So, in the abovementioned question this tile shall be washed in such a way that the impurity is surely removed. If by cleaning the floor once with wet cloth the removal of impurity is assured then it shall be enough to clean once.
