Cleaning Urine and Faeces of Babies (Part 13)

-Urine of baby boys (who are not weaning) can be sprinkled over with water (text from Zaad al-Mustaqni).

Al-Uthaymeen explains that faeces for boys and urine and faeces for girls must be cleaned as normal – washed until the impurities have been removed.
However, boys who have not begun weaning yet can have their urine sprinkled over:

-Hadeeth of A’aishah that Umm Qays bin Muhsan al-Asdiyyah gave her child to the Prophet and he urinated on his clothes so the Prophet called for water and he didn’t wash it. [al-Bukhaaree (222) and Muslim (286)]

If a person asks about why the boy has been specified then we may say in response:
                 
-The Wahy is sufficient for a reason.

-It is easier for the parents as urine from the penis spreads further and broader.

-Once he starts weaning, his urine changes in concentration and then must be washed.
