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?

“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?”

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

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؟
