Urine

• Q1 - I have a problem that I have a few drops of urine that comes out after I go to the toilet and it comes out for half and hour. Even though it is a few drops, I have tried putting napkin in my underwear but it also gets wet. This is causing issues for me in terms of tahara. How often do I have to do wudu and clean myself? 

  A - If you know that it only comes up to half hour after you use the bathroom, wait half hour, make yourself tahir and then make wudhu and pray. If it is constantly coming out, make yourself tahir, make wudhu, pray salaah and repeat for each salaah. You do not have to stay tahir the entire day, only the times you are praying.

• Q2 - Sometimes I go to public restrooms and they are really filthy. If I sit down my feet or pants may get urine on them, and sometimes the seat is very dirty and it will take a long time to clean the seat. In this circumstance, is it still MAKRUH for me to pee while standing up if I want to observe proper hygiene? Also, is standing up while peeing makruh or haram according to Shia fiqh when circumstances are normal? 

  A - You are not sinful, however the status of makruh is still there.
