Lessons: Beware of (smearing yourselves with) urine, because it…

• We should beware of urine and distance ourselves from it, lest it may touch our bodies or clothes.
• It is better to wash off urine and purify ourselves of it if it touches us, so as to avoid impurity. But it is obligatory to remove it prior to prayer.
• Urine is impure. So, if it touches a part of the body, clothing, or a spot, it makes it impure, rendering prayer invalid in this state. One of the requirements of the prayer is the removal of impurity.
• Failure to guard against urine is one of the major sins.
• It establishes the existence of the torment in the grave, which is proved by the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the consensus.
• It establishes the existence of the recompense in the Hereafter, as the stages of the Hereafter begin with the grave, which is either a garden of Paradise or a pit of Hellfire.
