I was travelling via Bus in India a day ago. I had to take 3 buses.
In one place I got down and went to answer Nature Call 1 in a public bathroom, It was so dirty and no facility for water & I took a mineral water bottle. It was so difficult wearing a jeans and using a public toilet.
What if I wore a lungi? - Masha Allah, that would have been comfortable and we can be saved from najasah touching our clothes. Unfortunately, the British implemented their country's dressing style and is strictly followed by Indians.
Bottomline - While travelling long distance in India, wear a lungi; but more than that its our duty to be in Sunnah every micro second. Sunnah Saves
The distance between my masjid and railway track is apprx. 200 m. After maghrib time, I thought of going for a short walk to the railway track. It was bit dark. I saw a stick nearby and took it with me; as its Sunnah to walk with a Stick/Staff. When I took few steps in the dark with the Stick, suddenly a dog which was very close to me ran away.
Bottomline - While travelling in dark/remote places carry a Staff(consider the Staff as Sunnah); but more than than its our duty to walk with sunnah every nano second. Sunnah saves
As we are all aware, one of the main causes of punishment in the grave is due to carelessness in regards to urine.
We have to be particularily careful when using western style toilets.
what I want to know is what do people do in order to prevent splashbacks?
Iv been told that i should throw in a bunch of tissue to act as shock absorbers, but this wastes sooo much tissue. One brother told me that he put a piece of polystyrene since it doesnt get flushed, my mum would never allow this so this is also not practical.
errrrrm, im actually talking about sitting down!! if i am not concerned with sitting down then i dont see why i would be concerned about more subtle matters.
thing is despite sitting down, there is still the danger of splashbacks.
All you need is to place a strip of toilet paper on top of the water in the toilet and it will eliminate splashback. You don't need alot, one square piece of toilet paper would suffice.
I am in US right now and in US and Canada, water levels in the toilet bowls are significantly higher then UK so there is "potential" for splashback so the Ulamah advise to drop Toilet Papers in the toilet before using them...This problem doesn't exist in UK or Europe.
even if you sit down you have issued with splashback!
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
