Water falling onto the toilet seat

Q: I used to make istinja while standing. I used to pour water on the hands and then wash my private part and water would fall on my clothes and floor. Now someone told me that I should sit on the toilet seat and make istinja. But my question is that if I sit on the toilet seat and while washing water falls on the toilet seat, does the seat became impure. There is every chance that when I pour water on private part it will drip.

A: If water from the jug falls on the toilet seat, the toilet seat will not be impure.

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