Is My Istinja Water Impure?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: When doing istinja, I wipe a lot, then use a wet tissue to wipe, then a dry tissue again, when I see no traces, I wet my hand and use water. I see no actual traces of impurity, but the water always returns looking cloudy. Like with a white cloudy tinge. I keep going because if the water is changed by impurity then it is impure, but it continues to look like this and I always end up giving up and getting in the shower. I’m not sure what to do. Is this water impure?

Bismillaah

A: You do not need to do all this. Just washing is sufficient. You do not need to keep washing and checking the tissue.

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