Urine splashes on toilet seat

Q: I have had rectal problems for the past couple of years and I try to keep a slight gap at the back when I sit on the toilet. However, it felt like something fell on my back and I knew for sure it could not have been urine splashing on me. Later, I tried to check if urine splashes fell on me, but I couldn't tell. When I went the third time I saw one splash fall on the seat, so I was worried if this was happening all the time but I was unaware.

My questions are:

1. Do I have to have a shower and change anything that could have come in contact with me?

2. Are all of my prayers valid?

3. Have I made anything najis from touching that part of my body?

4. This is how most people use the toilet so should I tell my family members to be careful and sit all the way back.

A: In future be more careful. Before sitting on the pan ensure that there are no traces of impurity or urine drops on the pan. However, since prior to this you did not see any traces of impurity or urine on the pan, you do not have to repeat any of your salaah, nor regard anything impure.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
