Male And Female Infant Urine
Can we say that the difference in the purification of male and female infant urine does not mean that one is more or less impure in itself? Both are considered najis in Islam, but this was just prescribed as an easier method for the urine of boy.One possible wisdom,mentioned by some scholars,is practical ease because of the anatomy of a male infant, his urine may project or spread onto different parts of the clothing of those carrying him, making washing more difficult.Does this make sense brother

There are different narrations on this matter. According to one narration, the Holy Prophet ﷺ washed the clothes that had been soiled with the urine of a baby boy.
This difference in the narrations may reflect the prevailing understanding or customary notion in Arabia at the time. The Prophet ﷺ may have subsequently demonstrated through his actions that urine, whether from a male or female child, should be properly washed and cleaned.
Narrated by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her):
“A suckling infant boy was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The child urinated in his lap, so he called for some water and poured it over the affected area.”
(Sahih Muslim, Chapter: The Ruling Regarding the Urine of a Breastfeeding Child and How It Should Be Washed, Hadith No. 286, Vol. 1, p. 237, Dar Ihya al-Turath al-Arabi)
