Reference number: 155409 | Purity | July 19, 2026
What is the ruling on ritual purity if a drop of urine comes out after performing ablution?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon the noblest of all creation, our master Muhammad, the trustworthy, and upon his family and all his companions.
To proceed:
With reference to your question quoted above, a drop of urine that comes out after performing ablution invalidates the ablution, provided that you are certain that it has actually occurred and that it is not merely a result of obsessive doubts (waswasah).
You should urinate while sitting and ensure that any remaining urine has been expelled, so that you are certain no urine remains before performing ablution and can perform your prayer properly.
And Allah speaks the truth, and He guides to the right path.
