Is istinjāʾ necessary after sleeping at night?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Sleep does not necessitate ’ (cleaning oneself after urinating or defecating) at all, and we are not aware of any differing opinion on this; because no text has been narrated to that effect in the Book of Allah or the of His Messenger, and because istinja’ was prescribed to remove impurity, and there is no impurity in sleep or in passing wind.
