Do I Have To Clean Inside My Nails After Istinja?
Do I have to clean inside my nails after
istinja using hand after urinating or defecating? If yes, sometimes there is dirt inside my nails , do i have to clean the dirt first then wash inside my nails? or just pouring water inside my nails will clean the area even if there is dirt?
I get regular vaginal discharge. So I doubt that when I urinate , urine gets mixed with the discharge and stays there. So I started using tissue before urinating to clean the discharge then urinate. But later i realised discharge remains in between the labia minora even after pouring water and wiping normally. I tried wiping between the labia minira too but it hurts. So I use my fingers to clean with water. Now i am having doubts if the inside of my nails are impure or pure.
2. Also while washing the hand water splashes back at me from my hand and the sink. Are these drops of water impure, do I have to wash it off?

Is there any update to this question?

1).
– What you see under nails is clearly dirt, then you can remove it, not necessarily while doing ghusal. You can also remove it when you trim your nails. The ultimate objective of religion being tazkiya (purity), we need to be extra-conscious with respect to the matters of bodily purity. However, if you somehow were unable to remove such dirt, this will not invalidate you Ghusl, Wuzu and Salah.
– You do not need to bother too much about remaining drops, if after cleaning, some drops stay there despite your best effort, then you can ignore them and peform your religious obligations.
2). No, you do not necessarily have to clean such splashbacks unless you are absolutely certain that it is an impurity.
Please go through the following threads:

Mr. Umer Qureshi
I know the dirt under my nails won’t invalidate my wudu.
What I am actually concerned is that I might spread impurity.since I use my fingers to wash after urinating (not using tissue first),can the dirt inside my nail or the skin inside my nails become impure?
Do I have to remove the dirt then pour water inside of my nails after istinja if there is dirt underneath my nails? Or just pour water under my nail without removing the dirt? Or I don’t have to pour water under my nails and just wash the hand as usual?

Just wash the hand as usual, if you want, you can remove the dirt under your nails at any other time as well, considering your ease. This again falls in unusual hardhip (i.e. removing dirt under one’s nails everytime one has to relieve themselves). This will not tantamount to spreading of impurity.

Mr. Umer Qureshi , I know you told me to wash as usual. But I have a bad habit of subconsciously putting my fingers in my mouth. Not cleaning my nail after istinja won’t result in eating impurity right?

Biting nails is a not a healthy habit, but as far as religion is concerned, you’re relieved from religioug obligation as soon as you purified yourself in a usual manner and in normal course of action, which does not involve washing nails everytime. However, you can choose to clean your nails occasionaly after some gap.
