What is the Mas'allah pertaining to using the Eastern toilet (squatpan) & Western toilet(high toilet)?
Question
Do we have to use a squatpan? I have difficulty using a squatpan? Can one use a high toilet when taking the necessary precautions not to let any water or najaasat splash on oneself? Jazakallah Khair
Answer
One should relieve oneself in a squatting posture. However, if one is unable or experiences difficulty in squatting, he may use the western toilet and avoid the impurities splashing on the body or clothes.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
