Proper Way to Clean After Touching Fecal Matter

January 31, 2005

Question

At times finger is inserted in the anus to pull out stool in case of constipation or such other stomach problems. Does this act necessitate purification bath or prayer can be offered simply by performing wudu?

Answer

You would have to clean the parts that need cleaning as normal. After this, you would make your Wudu. There is no need to have a complete bath.

Hope this helps,

In need of your prayers,

Hischam Khan
