Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedWalekumussalam,
Your istinja is completely valid, and there is no defect in it. Because in Shariah, the main purpose of istinja is simply to remove impurity (najasah), and it is not necessary to use the hand. Therefore, if you clean yourself properly by splashing water or using a hose and the impurity is removed, your istinja is considered valid. Using the hand is not a compulsory condition; rather, the essential thing is cleanliness. Whichever method achieves complete cleanliness is sufficient.
However, if at any time you feel that the area has not been properly cleaned, then it is better as a precaution to use the hand. But in normal circumstances, your method is completely correct. So, there is no need for you to worry your istinja is valid.
