Question
Excuse me for asking, but is there a measure for 'Asher Yatzar'? Sometimes it's just a few drops. Should one bless for this? Thank you in advance, sorry.
Answer
Hello Rabbi
There is no measure for waste that exits, and for any amount, one blesses 'Asher Yatzar'.
The reason is explained in the poskim, that any amount that is delayed in the body causes discomfort and difficulty for a person.

There is no measure for urinating, as even for one drop one must bless, for if the opening were blocked from releasing that drop, it would be difficult, and one must give thanks.
