Suffering from OCD problem

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I live in UK. I suffer from OCD. The issue which I find very difficult is istinja. How to make istinja in a shower tap. Because it is narrow. When I pour water on my private part the water touches my thigh. Should I wash the thigh? Also in my work place there is no place to make istinja in the English toilet. So I stand up and pour water on my private part and water then touches my clothes and the floor. Do they become napaak?

Bismillaah

A: Only once you are certain and sure that something is impure, then you should consider it as napaak.

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