What Should I Do After Finding What Might Be Urine?

Answered by Ustadh Tabraze Azam

Question: Assalam alaykum

Today after taking a bath, I hadn’t urinated. After coming out of the bathroom and drying my penis, I noticed some water had come out of it. Should I ignore it thinking it is just the water I used to wash myself?

Answer: Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,

Yes, you should deem the water to be from the shower. The basis is that urine did not exit, unless you have clear signs to the contrary. Doubts are of no consideration.
