Must one dry his hands upon washing after using the bathroom?[1]

One is to dry his hands from the water poured after using the bathroom. Alternatively, one is to pour a fourth time over his hands.[2]

[1] Machazik Bracha 4:2; Kaf Hachaim 4:8; See Piskeiy Teshuvos 4 footnote 75

[2] As also the bathroom contains an impure spirit and hence one is to avoid placing this water on other areas. [ibid]
