Question: 2271

Asslamualikum brother My question is regarding the English toilet. i am unable to adjust completely with this system. when i get some splash of water after passing urine or stool and i try again to clean it , sometimes my hand touch again the thing on which i am sitting which gives me a feeling that i am again napaak. can you please advise me what is the proper way to use this system so that you are not at all napaak after using this system. 2) also sometimes i find the toilet on which i have to sit wet(may be water or some other thing dropped by the person who used it before me) . So what should i do under such conditions.

-(Fatwa: 1991/1534=H)

It is possible for a thin or a slim person to use the Western-type toilets if he is cautious and careful, but for a fat man it is difficult to use it with comfort. It is better to use simple toilet if possible and try to have the same in ones house. If someone is forced to use it then he should use it with extra care and caution and clean the body and cloth after using it. It is recommended to keep a particular lungi/cloth for this purpose and wear it while using the English toilets then change it after cleaning your body so that you can pray salah and perform other things with content of heart and complete satisfaction.

(2) If you use/sit on it wearing slippers then the foot may not be polluted.
and Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) Knows Best
