The Prophet’s (ﷺ) Guidance When
Visiting The Toilet
1. When he would enter the toilet area he
would say: “Allāhumma innee
a’oodhubika minal-khubthee wal-khabā’ith.”[Bukhāree and Muslim] When exiting,
he would say: “Ghufrānaka.” [Abu Dāwood, Tirmidhee, Ibn Mājah]
2. He
would urinate sitting down most of the time, and that was the norm for him.
3. He
would use water to clean himself sometimes, and with stones sometimes, and a
combination of the two sometimes.
4. He
would clean himself with his left hand.
5. After
cleansing himself with water, he would strike the earth (soil/sand) with his
hand.
6. When
upon a journey he would always seclude himself away from his companions when
relieving himself.
7. He
would conceal himself behind an object or behind dates palm trees or other
trees.
8. He
would seek out soft ground when he needed to urinate.
9. When
sitting to relieve himself he would not raise up his garment until he was close
to ground.
10. If
someone greeted him with salām whilst he was relieving himself, he would not respond.
