Some Ahadith are presented on how to cleanse oneself after passing urine and stool. Most people understand without any ambiguity the cleaning/washing of the private parts, however, the term ‘ Istibra ’ (only for men) is relatively less understood. It is the process of making urethra free from drops of urine, whereas the term ‘ Astanja ’ is to wash filth, i.e., urethra at least twice with water.

The aim of the article to highlight the ‘ Istibra ’, however, other general Ahadith are also included related to washing after use of the WC.
