Question
If only urination is done, is istinja necessary?
Answer
Performing istinja after urinating is necessary, otherwise there is a fear that droplets of urine will fall on the clothes. And if urine gets on the clothes, the clothes become impure, and prayer is not valid in impure clothes. However, it should be kept in mind that after urinating, a brief istinja may also be done, meaning you may wash only the penis and not wash the rest of the area, such as the back passage.
