Wiping off splashes of water from the toilet seat

Q: Please can you help me with the following:

When I flush the toilet, drops of water fall on the seat, does this make the seat napak? If something napaak falls on the toilet seat, I usually wipe the seat with a wet cloth then wipe it with a dry tissue. Sometimes my thigh gets a bit wet when I sit on the seat as the seat is not completely dry after I have dried it, will this make my thigh napaak? 

A: While flushing the toilet, if splashes of impure water had come onto the seat, then that area of the seat upon which napaak water had come will be impure. You should wipe it until it is completely dry before sitting on it.

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