Doubting If One Washed After Relieving Oneself

· 26 Jumada I 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I could not remember if I washed after I went to the toilet when passing urine. What should be done in such a situation? If anything other than ignore it. What happens to my Salaah because I ignored it now and maybe before too?

Answer

Consider yourself to be paak.
