Water splashing when making istinja

· 18 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am facing a weird issue for the past couple of weeks. I have observed that while performing istinja on an Indian toilet, the water splashes from the toilet surface and there is a chance that these splashes might end up on one's body, clothes or shoes.

What is the Islamic ruling for such splashes? From my part, I try very hard to avoid water from splashing but the water ends up splashing anyways.

Answer

If you are sure that there was some impurity then wash that area.

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

وتطهير النجاسة التي يجب غسلها على وجهين فما كان له منها مرئية زوال عينها إلا أن يبقى من أثرها ما يشق إزالته وما ليس له عني مرئية فطهارتها أن يغسل حتى يغلب على ظن الغاسل أنه قد طهر (مختصر القدوري صـ 21)
