{"_id":"668d9fff0b76658b4c232b53","title":"Why is wet toilet paper not permissible for proper istinja?","question":"Why is it not permissible to use wet toilet paper for istinja? Why would it be sufficient to use just dry toilet paper alone, without water? And to clarify, if only dry toilet paper is used and there is still residue, wouldn't that invalidate the prayer because the najasa wasn't properly removed?","answer":"There is no evidence from the hadiths for it. They either used dry leaves/rocks to wipe or water or both. No evidence of wiping with anything wet. Dry toilet paper is valid because of the evidence from the hadiths that rocks alone were used. \nNo, residue will not affect the prayer. During the time of the prophet (ﷺ) they sometimes used rocks only and prayed. Since you asked, the scholars said that even if the residue is mixed with sweat and spreads to your underwear, it will not invalidate your prayer.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327bd","tag":"Tahara: Impurities and Invalidators","count":52},{"_id":"668d9ffa0b76658b4c232ac9","tag":"Tahara: Istinja","count":12}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:39:27.414Z"}
