Issue With Soap And Cleanliness
Soap is used to achieve additional purity. In instances where you do not have a soap, washing hands properly with simple water can also suffice. Therefore, if you wash your left hand right after istinja without touching anything, basic purity of hand has been achieved. What you’re doing with soap now is an additional purity.
JazakAllah Mr. Umer Qureshi. I will definitely try to implement this InshAllah. I just want to clarify one last point, if you don’t mind. You said: “Therefore, if you wash your left hand right after istinja without touching anything, basic purity of hand has been achieved.” If a portion of my left hand that I know was not in direct contact with impurity during istinja comes into contact with something else, such as the toilet seat or my thigh, then I don’t have to worry about cleaning that, right? Or do I have to assume that there was some transfer of impurity? I mean like the back of the hand, above the fingers.
Or even if I know for sure that splash back of water during istinjaa directly contacted impurity.
