Commentary
1. Sprinkling water over one’s private parts does not form a part of ablution.
2. The wisdom behind this practice is that sometimes, due to a urinary disease, doubts occur that drops of urine have exited. A person who suffers from such a disease is excusable. In view of this excuse or in order to dispel obsessive doubts, the said practice has been legislated: Water may be sprinkled over the private parts after cleansing oneself of filth (the Istinja) or after performing ablution. This will, Allâh willing, dispel obsessive doubts.
