Question

I wanted to ask you regarding visiting the bathroom. I live in San Francisco and the english tolits here always cotain water in them. Now after you releave yourself and you want to clean yourself with water the water splashes over you from the bowl. Do you become impure after this water is on you becaues it is dirty. what I have been doing is that I wet toliet tissue and clean it that way but it is very difficult. What can I do?

Answer

We suggest you wash yourself after flushing the toilet and thereafter place sufficient toilet paper in the bowl before washing yourself in order to avoid the splashes.

A water container with a long and thin nossel may assist in controlling the water from splashing as the water will come out slowly.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
