No that was the Turkish TP - that’s why my mother would get our neighbor American TP whenever she went to the base. LOL

Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) has released a fatwa stating that usage of toilet paper is permissible within Islam, though it emphasized that water should be the primary source of cleansing.

Sheryl Crow approves.

Meanwhile in a separate statement, the Diyanet also ruled that people who beg in order to earn money beyond their immediate needs are “demanding the fire of hell.”

Which raises this question: now that toilet paper is permissible, can you beg for it as an immediate need?

More effective than TP -- but even better to use first this hand-held bidet then TP
