Such questions were not a concern in Turkey before it started becoming a caliphate.

The Chinese had toilet paper in the 6th century AD.

These people (muslims) cannot live in civilized society.
To: DeaconBenjamin
A few pages of that twisted book of theirs would work just fine if they don’t have any toilet paper.

He says they can use toilet paper if water is not available.
I imagine using alternatives to toilet paper will in many cases result in sanitary problems.

Have you seen the size of the TP sheets they had back then?

If [substances containing alcohol] spill onto a dress or the body, they must be washed or they cannot perform a prayer. Isn't there a death penalty for not praying?
To be a good muslim, one must be a filthy pig.

Thus the reason Muslims only eat with their right hand.
They use their left hand to wipe their ass.

Ginormous. Must have been family size. I could have slept comfortably under their early stuff.
Paper and the Chinese is fascinating. They used it for clothing, bedding, etc...

“Even though some sources deem paper to be unsuitable as a cleaning material, as it is an apparatus for writing, there is no problem in using toilet paper...”
I am glad that this point of personal hygiene has been clarifed.
Also, I find that my fountain pen ink tends to blot when I write on toilet paper.
This fatwa notwithstanding, one should still avoid personal contact with a Moslem’s left hand.

I lived in Ankara 1969-1971 and laughed myself silly when I saw the first Turkish john - a small room (closet size) with a hole in the floor, raised footprints and a faucet. It was considered an insult to offer anything to someone using your right hand as that was the one you “wiped” with. I even brought a brass Turkish john ashtray back - don’t know where it’s at now. What TP they did have was like wax paper......slick! One of our neighbors was an American married to a Turkish doctor so whenever my Mother went to the BX she always bought her American TP....we had a normal bathroom - my Mother had the washing machine placed over the Turkish john with the drain hose going into the hole in the floor.

You’re right - when I just posted I said right hand; it is the left hand that’s the TP.

Don’t they also have rules about which hand you can wipe your ass with? I guess it could be a problem shaking hands after wiping your ass with your hand.

Must have been USAF Military issue toilet paper. Slick! In our barracks we finally decided to buy our own at the BX.
To: peeps36
I think so. Wipe with both hands then.
