The answer

To get rid of urine drops after urinating, one can gently squeeze and milk the penis until it is highly probable that the urethra is clear, while avoiding exaggeration that leads to obsessive thoughts. This varies from person to person; some may need only a gentle squeeze, while others may need to repeat it, clear their throat, or walk a few steps. The intention is for the person to believe that nothing remains. This practice is recommended, but if it is omitted and the person cleanses immediately after the urine flow stops, their cleansing is valid and their ablution is complete, unless they are certain that something has exited. To overcome obsessive thoughts about something exiting after cleansing, it is recommended to sprinkle water on the private parts and trousers. Ahmad was asked about this and said: "When you perform ablution, ensure purification, then take a handful of water and sprinkle it on your private parts, and do not pay attention to it, for it will go away - Allah willing -." As for slight wetness after cleansing and ablution, it is deemed pure and does not invalidate ablution, for the original state is the continuation of purity and ablution until a nullifier is proven with certainty.
