Muslim bathroom etiquette
Question
Have I heard that your rules of modesty require men to squat or crouch to urinate? I wonder if it would not be more polite not to use the urinal in a man’s room if someone who, in my opinion, is Muslim is near the sink. I know that for women the laws of modesty are much stricter than for most Western women, and I very much respect Islamic women for that. I do not want to offend Muslims either if it is possible that I behave shamelessly around them without knowing it. Thank you in advance for your response and blessings of health and peace are offered.
Answer
Praise be to Allaah.
First, we must thank you for your concern about the feelings of Muslims and your efforts to find out what might offend them so that you can avoid it. We are happy to provide you with a detailed answer to your question and more, in the hope that this will pave the way for you.
Among the signs of the greatness of the Blessed Islamic Party, there is the fact that there is no good thing, major or minor, that it did not command us to do it or that it indicates the way to follow, and that there is no bad thing, major or minor. that he did not warn us against or forbid. It is perfect and complete in every respect, a fact that has often greatly astonished non-Muslims and earned them their admiration. (At the time of the prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)), one of the mushrikeen (polytheists) said to (the companion of the prophets) Salmaan al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) ): Your prophet taught you everything, even how to defecate! Salmaan said: Yes, he forbade us to face the qiblah during urination or defecation (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, No. 16, he said it was a hash saheeh hadeeth, also reported in the Muslim Sahih and elsewhere). The Islamic part includes a number of rules and ways to respond to the call of nature, including the following:
Do not face the qiblah (direction of prayer, that is, the Kabah that was built in Mecca by Ibrahim, on whom peace is commanded by Allah) during urination or defecation. It is out of respect for the Qiblah and for the symbols and rituals of Allah. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When one of you sits down to answer the call of nature, he should not face the qiblah or him to turn your back.
(Reported by Muslim, 389).
He should not touch his penis with his right hand while urinating, for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If any of you urinates, he should not hold his penis in his right hand, nor the clean with his right hand, and (when drinking) he should not breathe into the container.
(Reported by al-Bukhaari, 150).
He should not remove the najaasah (impurity) from the right hand; the left hand should be used for this purpose, because of the hadith mentioned above and the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When one of you wipes himself, he must not not use his right hand.
(Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5199). The wife of the prophet Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used his right hand to eat, drink, wudoo, dress, give and take things, and he used to use his left hand.
(Narrated by Imaam Ahmad, see also Sahih al-Jaami, 4912).
Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When one of you cleans himself, he must not use his right hand, he must use his left hand.
(Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 308, see also Sahih al-Jaami, 322).
The Sunna has to respond to the call of the sitting nature by standing close to the ground because it is more concealment and makes it less likely that the sprays of urine will come back on the body or clothes and dirty them. If a person can be sure of avoiding this, then he is allowed to urinate upright. A person must be hidden from the sight of others when he answers the call of nature. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) preferred to go behind an elevation in the ground or a garden of date palms.
(Reported by Muslim, 517).
If a person is in an open space and can find nothing to hide it when he has to answer the call of nature, he must move away from other people around him, because al-Mugheerah ibn Shubah said : Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while traveling, when he felt the need to answer the call of nature, he went so far.
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 20, he said it was saheeh hasan hadeeth).
Abd-Allaha ibn Abi Quraad said: I went out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a clear space and when he needed to answer the call of nature, he went away.
(Reported by al-Nisaai, 16, see also Sahih al-Jaami, 4651)
A person should only discover his private part after squatting near the ground, because this is more hidden, as Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Prophet himself wanted to respond to the nature’s call, he would not lift his garment until he was squatting close to the ground. (Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 14, see also Sahee al-Jaami, 4652). If a person is in a (modern) toilet, they should not lift their clothes until they have closed the door and be out of sight of others. Regarding this and the previous point, it should be noted that the habit of many people in the West and elsewhere, to urinate standing in front of others in public toilets (with urinals) goes against good manners, modesty and decency, and is repulsive to anyone with common sense and wisdom. How can anyone discover in front of others the awrah (intimate parts) that Allah has placed between his legs to conceal it and order him to cover it? The idea that it is covered is well established among all wise and honest people of all races. In principle, it is wrong to build such shameful toilets, where users can see each other, making them worse than some types of animals who are used to hiding from each other when urinating or defecating. .
According to Shareeah, it’s also a good way to recite certain supplications when they enter or leave the bathroom, which is entirely appropriate for the situation and the place. Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught us that when we enter the toilets, we should say: Allaahumma innee aoodhi bika min al-khubthi wal-khabait (O Allah, I seek refuge from you of male devils and feminine). When leaving the toilet, he should say: Ghufraanak (I seek your forgiveness).
He should take care to eliminate any impurity after responding to the call of nature, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) warned not to wash without care after urinating: the bulk the punishment of the grave will be because of the urine. (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 342, see also Sahih al-Jaami, 1202). Ibn Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) passed by two graves and said: They are punished, but are not punished for any major sin. . One of them was not protecting himself (that is, protecting himself from his urine), and the other was walking to spread malicious gossip. (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5592).
Any impurity must be washed or wiped three times or an odd number of times greater than three, as necessary to clean it, because Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) he) washed his posterior three times. Ibn Umar said: We did this too and found it a healing and cleansing. (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 350, see also Sahih al-Jaami, 4993). Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: If anyone cleans you (with stones or similar material), leave him alone. use an odd number. (Narrated by Imaam Ahmad, classified as hasan in Sahih al-Jaami, 375).
He should not use bones or dung to clean himself or wipe away any impurities; he should rather use fabrics, stones, etc. Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he was carrying a vase for the Prophet (peace be upon him) to wudoo and clean himself after answering the call of Allah. nature. As he followed him, he (the prophet) asked, Who is it? He said: I am Abu Hurayrah. He said: Give me stones that I can use to clean myself, but do not bring me bones or dung. So I brought him stones, carrying them in the bottom of my garment, and placed them next to him, and then I left. When he was done, I came back and asked him: What’s wrong with the bones and feces? He said: They are the food of the jinn. (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 3571).
A person should not urinate in stagnant water, because Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Apostle of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade anyone to urinate in stagnant waters (reported by Muslim, 423), and because it makes water unclean and harms those who use it.
A person should not urinate on the side of the road or in places where people are looking for shade because it shocks them. Abu Hurayrah reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Fear the two things that bring curses. They asked: What are the two things that bring curses, O Messenger of Allah? He said: When a person relieves himself on the road where people are walking or where they are looking for shade. (Reported by Abu Dawud, 23, see also Sahih al-Jaami, 110).
We must not greet a person who answers the call of nature, or give a greeting while responding to the call of nature, out of respect for Allah, by not mentioning his name in a dirty place. [Translators’ note: Islamic salvation is al-salaam alaykum (peace be upon you); One of the names of Allah is al-Salaam (peace). Jaabir ibn Abd-Allaah reported that a man had passed through the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) while urinating and greeting him. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: If you see me in this state, do not greet me, for if you do, I will not answer. (Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 346, see also Sahih al-Jaami, 575). The majority of scholars say he is makrooh (hated) to talk unnecessarily in the toilet.
These are some of the rules and ways prescribed by the Islamic community in this matter, which is repeated several times a day by each person. If the party has paid so much attention to the details of such a trivial matter, what do you think it has to say about more important issues? Do you know of any other religion or system in the world that has introduced laws like this? This is enough, by Allah, to prove his perfection, his beauty and the need to follow it. We ask Allah to give us and give you strength and guide us all to the truth. May Allah bless our Prophet Muhammad.
