Only the place where the impurity exits must be washed, and it is not obligatory to wash the entire penis after urination. According to the majority of scholars, istinja’ (cleaning oneself) after urinating is obligatory, and neglecting it invalidates the prayer, based on the hadith: "He does not purify himself from urine."
