Q: After using the toilet to relieve myself, I used tissue to wipe away the excrement, then I used water on my hands to wipe away the remaining excrement. I collected some water in my hands from the tap several times and then wiped until there was no trace of excrement left. I had no water container or bottle to use. Am I deemed to have cleansed myself properly? I did this for several months and prayed too, are my prayers valid?
A: It is permissible.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
