Does a man become pure and the impurity removed if he urinates and wipes the place of urination with paper tissues only, while water is available?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Istijmar (cleaning oneself with stones, paper, and similar materials) takes the place of istinja (cleaning oneself with water), provided that the impurity is removed from the area. If tissues remove the impurity, then the area is pure, even if water is available, knowing that it is better to use water because it is purer and cleaner.
