' is the removal of what exits from the two private parts with water or a stone, etc. The left hand is used for istinja', not the right, unless there is an excuse. Pouring water when needed is done with the right hand. Thorough cleansing is obligatory in istinja'. If done with water, it is to wash three times. If done with a stone or the like, no less than three wipes are sufficient.
