Q: I am a female, and I use a western style bathroom as that’s the only kind available here. I have a few questions regarding cleaning myself:
1. When I wash myself after using the bathroom, I wipe first until the area is dry. While I wash myself, water (that has been used) always splashes on my thigh. Since I had wiped the area dry beforehand, are the splashes on my thigh pure?
2. Also, I fill a jug with water and pour it onto my private parts to wash them, is this considered running water?
3. Lastly, I use my hands to wash myself (after wiping area dry) – if I finish washing myself with my hands, with water poured from the jug, are my hands impure? As is if I touch something while they are still wet, does that thing become impure?
A:
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Your hands are pure.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
