What is the ruling on pouring a small amount of water on the place of urination, and is the spot considered pure, and does the hand become impure when touching things afterwards?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If you are not certain that impurity has touched a part of your body, then the original state is purity, and neither your hand nor what it touched is ruled impure. As for impurity touching a child, if you pour water on the impure spot until you are reasonably sure that the impurity has been removed, then its removal is ruled valid; for reasonable certainty is sufficient in purifying impurities. One must not give in to obsessive doubts in this matter.
