Is Water from Istinja Considered Najis?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Whilst doing istinja and washing away the urine, sometimes water goes towards the inner thighs, but is this water considered najis. Do I have to wash my thighs and my hand after washing away the urine, or is it considered clean because water is continuously running. I feel like I have to use more water this way and I’m not sure if I should be washing everything.

Bismillaah

A: If urine splashes on your thigh, then you should wash that area.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
