Doubts after urinating
|
|
Assalamu'alaikum warahmathullahi wabarakathu to all.
Dear muftis, ulaamas, scholars, etc
I am a male. Sometimes after urinating and flushing, when i stand back up,i can feel something wierd as though small drops of urine are dropping but i am honestly not sure. Is this normal or am i being was-was? To be on the safe side , i wash everthing and even the toilet floor. When I wear my trousers, I feel the same thing. Sometimes i be on the safe side and go change trousers but after urinating once more in case and changing trousers, i feel the same thing so i stop changing.
Can u shed some light on this?
Thank you

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)
Ibn Abbas (RadiyAllahu Ta'ala Anhu) narrates that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) came upon two graves and said: "Their occupants are being punished, but not for a great sin (in their own view). However, it is in fact a great sin. One of them went about spreading slander. The other did not clean himself properly after urination..." (Bukhari and Muslim)
It is compulsory to do Istibra' after urinating. Istibra' is to ensure that the traces of urine has come out completely. Some examples of Istibra': one should shake, sway or squeeze the penis very gently, coughing, taking few steps, jogging, lying on the left side etc, there is no restrictions in Istibra', one may do Istibra' in any way one is used to.
It will not be permissible to begin Wudhu without doing Istibra'.
(Nurul Idhah Pg.27, Hashiat Tahtawi Pg.42, Al Fiqhul Hanafi Wa Adillatuh Vol.1 Pg.38)
Also, if you are certain that you saw or felt some drops of urine then you need only pass water over the affected area until the trace is removed. There is no need to wash the whole garment.
If you are in doubt then you should ignore and discard your doubts. According to Usoolul Fiqh (fundamental principles of Islamic jurisprudence),"Al Yaqeen La Yazulu Bish Shak" (Certainty is not invalidated by doubt). (Al Ashbah Wan Nazair Pg. 60)
This means that you are considered clean until you are certain of the visible traces of urine. A mere feeling of something dropping is not backed up by obvious traces of urine and should be ignored completely.
Remember, Waswasa is from the Shaitan one should treat it with contempt and pay no attention to such thoughts and do not bother. If one gives a little attention to such thoughts, the Shaytan feels honoured. It has achieved its purpose of diverting one’s mind in wrong. One should never give into that. Simply treat such thoughts with contempt and ignore them.

Recite La Ilaha IllAllahu Muhammadur Rasulullah.
