What is the ruling on feeling a drop emerge after urinating, despite performing istibra’ (cleansing after urination), istinjas (washing with water), and sprinkling water on the private parts, with no trace found on the underwear? And is the water remaining on the urethral opening, or that which entered and exited unintentionally, considered impure? And what should someone who experiences waswasa (obsessive whispering/doubts) concerning this do?

You must ignore obsessive thoughts and not pay attention to them. If you doubt that a drop of urine has exited, do not pay attention to the doubt and do not investigate. Build upon the certain اصل (presumption) that nothing has exited unless you have absolute certainty, to the point where you could swear by it. The water remaining on the opening of the male organ is pure because it has separated from the impurity after it was purified.
