(Fatwa: 864/115/Tatimmah/SD=8/1439)
It is mandatory that one feels reassured that the drops have stopped after urination, it is called istibra (cleansing after discharging excreta). Usually, nowadays people have problem of urine drops after urination, so they use clay clad or tissue paper as they are not satisfied without it. Istibra is mandatory for those who have the problem of urine drops. But this practice is not good in front of people. One should use tissue paper or clay clad behind a wall or inside toilet, it is disliked to dry urination in front of people. Hakimul Ummah Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (may Allah have mercy upon him) writes: It is improper to dry urination in a place visible to passersby. (Imdad al-Fatawa: 1/141, Kitab al-Taharah, pub. Zakaria, Deoband, Uswa-e-Rasul-e-Akram, p. 223, with reference to Bahishti Gauhar)

If we are taking bath or ghusal and after finishing of it if hands touch with our private part intentionally or unintentionally then do we have to go for ablution again before pray. It seems un-practical as when we complete our bath and making dry our body with towel, our hands may touch with our private part. Sometime if we are in wudu, and we touch our part and see that there is no any drop of urine is present there. In this the wudu becomes invalid due to touching of the hands to the private part? Please respond with hadith reference.
