Water falling onto the toilet seat

· 5 Jumada I 1436 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I used to make istinja while standing. I used to pour water on the hands and then wash my private part and water would fall on my clothes and floor. Now someone told me that I should sit on the toilet seat and make istinja. But my question is that if I sit on the toilet seat and while washing water falls on the toilet seat, does the seat became impure. There is every chance that when I pour water on private part it will drip.

Answer

If water from the jug falls on the toilet seat, the toilet seat will not be impure.

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