Question
Everywhere in the writings and in the Mishnah Berurah, it is stated that if one "relieves oneself" or "touches something unclean," one must wash hands, implying that after using the restroom, it is obligatory even if one did not touch anything unclean. What is the reason for this obligation and what is its source?
Answer
Hello,
Due to cleanliness, or because of 'prepare to meet your God.' See the source.
