Toilet Worries: Urine Drops

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Up to what extent must I go to make sure urine does not come out after urinating? because I take very long and I make sure even the tiniest bit of urine is not there, even if I cant see it, I presume its there. Can I just urinate and then clean my private part, and then when I see no more urine, just quickly wash and go? I take too long because of this.

[This is a men-specific problem. Allah Most High relieved women of having to worry about this…]

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam,

Take the middle path: exercise caution by applying the sunna as explained by the fuqaha, but avoid baseless misgivings.

The scholars mentioned that it is disliked to look unnecessary at one’s private parts in wudu, because it leads to waswasa (baseless misgivings). Often, what one sees is simply water from the washing…

One should wait a little after urinating, free oneself of traces of urine by coughing, swaying or the like. If one ‘tugs’, the scholars say it should only be done very gently a couple of times, as this can harm one and also leads to long term waswasa. When reasonably sure that no more urine is coming out one should get up and:

a) sprinkle water lightly on one’s private parts and underwear, as the Prophet (Allah bless him & give him peace) instructed,

b) and then walk around a little,

c) and then do wudu.

Then, if you have any doubts about urine, you simply assume the wetness you think you feel is from the sprinkled water.

Wassalam,

Faraz Rabbani
