MUSLIMS DONT WASH THEIR HANDS AFTER SHITTING

I was surprised at this article about islamic toilet.

(link at the bottom of this post)

One should enter the toilet with the left foot and leave with the right foot !

One should not face nor turn your back on Al-Qiblah whilst relieving yourself.

Do not look to the private parts of the body nor the waste matter passed from the body !
No wonder ! I always thought that muslims had bad aim ! They piss everywhere except in the potty !

When leaving the toilet one should also say a prayer, "Praise be to Allah who relieved me of the filth and gave me relief."
I am sure mohammad suffered from constipation regularly to have made such a law !


The funniest part is, they do not even mention that soap (or sand and water which was used instead of soap in those days) should be used !

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I will never go near a muslim again !

Look at the Islamic instructions on how one must clean their ass :

After relieving oneself it is essential to perform Istinjaa (washing with water) of the anus and/or genitals with the left hand and water. The precise mode of performing Istinjaa has also been defined by religious leaders: "At the beginning of Istinja, it is preferable to use toilet paper three times. If Istinjaa is being done on a hot day, then the person should start from the front to the back and then from the back to the front and the third time from the front to the back. If Istinjaa is being done on a cold day, then he should begin from the back to the front. After wiping, he should wash his hand first and then he should cleanse himself with two fingers and three fingers if necessary together with ‘pouring’ water. When using the two fingers, one should keep the middle finger in front and the ring and index finger behind it. After beginning with the fingers in this position, he should bring the ring finger forward and rub with the middle finger and ring finger. Thereafter, he will wipe with the index finger, if necessary. He should continue until all the impurity and smell is removed. The left over water after Istinjaa is paak only if there is no impurity in it." (Mufti Ebrahim Desai) And further: "To wash the orifice with water, even though no filth is stuck to it after relieving oneself, is desirable. If the filth is sticking to it (less than a Dirham or equal to it) then the use of water is 'Sunnah' (optional) and in the case the filth stuck to the orifice is more than a Dirham then its washing with the water is 'Fard'. (obligatory)" Islamic Academy
Other than toilet paper, water and the left hand Istinjaa can be performed with earth, grit, stones and worn-out cloths provided they are all clean.
