After using the toilet, you forget whether or not you did Istibra’ (cleaned yourself), or whether or not you washed the urine – this happens nearly everyday. What to do?



Doubts after cleaning myself in the toilet
This was sent by the UK Agency to the Najaf Office in May 2020 and a response was received.
The details are given below:

“Peace be unto you and Allah’s mercy and His blessings
One of the brothers is asking about istibra’ (cleaning oneself after using the toilet)
He is saying:
After using the bathroom, many times I forget if I cleaned myself or not and whether I had cleaned and purified my body and whether I was successful in removing any urine from my body, or not. This doubt repeats everyday. What should I do?

In the Name of Allah the Always Merciful, the Intensely Merciful
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds
Oh Allah send blessings on Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad, the Imams and the Mahdis and send peace in abundance.
Answer:
Istibra’ is from the mandatory acts when in the toilet and repetitive doubts have no meaning (i.e. should be ignored)

أحد الإخوة يسأل عن أمر استبراء
هو يقول:
بعد ما أتفرغ من استخدام الحمام, كثيرا ما أنسى هل استبرأت وهل نظفتُ وطهرتُ جسمي ونجحت في إزالة البول من جسمي أو لا. هذا الوهم يتكرر يوميا. ما ذا سأفعل؟
