Question 1: Justify that Islam gives unique rules of using toilet.
Answer:
Rules
- A Muslim must first find an acceptable place away from standing water, or people's pathways or shade.
- They are advised that its better to enter the area with the left foot,
- Facing away from the Al-Qiblah.
- While on the toilet, one must remain silent. Talking, answering greetings or greeting others is forbidden.
- When defecating together, two men cannot converse, nor look at each other's private parts, and especially not handle each other's private parts.
- A man should not touch his private parts with the righthand, only his left.
- The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) specified that one should use an odd number of stones (preferably three) to cleanse the anal orifice after defecation and then proceed to a different location to wash it with water.
- Use of toilet paper in place of stones is now acceptable, but washing with water is still needed for ritual purity.
- When leaving the toilet, one is advised to leave with the right foot, and also say a prayer - "Praise be to Allah who relieved me of the filth and gave me relief.".
