استنجاء
س: الاستنجاء واجب بعد خروج النجس من السبيلين. هل يجب الاستنجاء قبل كل الوضوء؟ هذا مقصودي. إذا أنا إستنجيت مرة بعد خروج النجس من السبيلين، و بعد ساعتين مثلا، أريد أن أتوضأ - هل يجب علي الاستنجاء قبل الوضوء (إذا لم يخرج النجس من المخرجين)؛ و لكن وقع في رأسي الشك بخروج النجس، و لكن لا يوجد اليقين أو العلم اليقيني بأنه خرج النجس من الفرج مثلا. في الحالة الموصوفة يجب الاستنجاء أم لا؟ هل يجب الاستنجاء قبل كل الوضوء؟ أو ذلك مستحب فقط لا واجب؟
