Doubts regarding washing the hands after istinja

· 13 Safar 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I always have doubts whether I washed my hands after istinja or after washing my child. Will everything I touch become impure?

Answer

After washing your hands, regard your hands as clean and the things you touched to be clean and thereafter do not pay attention to any doubts that enter your mind.

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