Doubting If One Washed After Relieving Oneself

Q: I could not remember if I washed after I went to the toilet when passing urine. What should be done in such a situation? If anything other than ignore it. What happens to my Salaah because I ignored it now and maybe before too?

A: Consider yourself to be paak.

اليقين لا يزول بالشك (الأشباه و النظائر 1/183)
ولو أيقن بالطهارة وشك بالحدث أو بالعكس أخذ باليقين ولو تيقنهما وشك في السابق فهو متطهر (الدر المختار 1/150)
