Q: I am 62 years old and have mild enlargement of prostrate which normally occurs with advancing age. As routine after urination I dry the urinary opening with a tissue paper wash it with water and again dry it with a tissue paper. Many hours after passing the urine but not immediately on occasions I have experienced a sensation of some drops of fluid coming out of the urinary passage spontaneously. On examination sometimes I found that nothing was there other times just a drop of watery liquid but definitely not semen was noticed. As a precaution I normally keep a thick tissue paper between the underwear and the urinary passage so that any liquid that might come out remains only on the tissue paper and does not touch the under garment. Since I was in Itikaf in the Haram and could not got to the bathroom I used to clean the area with the tissue paper and do my Wudhu again. As a human being this problem is not in my control . Please advise whether the procedure I had opted is OK.
A: It was correct.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
قوله ( يجب الاستبراء الخ ) هو طلب البراءة من الخارج بشيء مما ذكره الشارح حتى يستيقن بزوال الأثر وأما الاستنقاء فهو طلب النقاوة وهو أن يدلك المقعدة بالأحجار أو بالأصابع حالة الاستنجاء بالماء وأما الاستنجاء فهو استعمال الأحجار أو الماء هذا هو الأصح في تفسير هذه الثلاثة كما في الغزنوية وفيها أن المرأة كالرجل إلا في الاستبراء فإنه لا استبراء عليها بل كما فرغت تصبر ساعة لطيفة ثم تستنجي ومثله في الإمداد (رد المحتار 1/344)
