Turkeys Directorate of Religious Affairs, known as the Diyanet, issued a fatwa that allows Muslims to use toilet paper. However, the department reminded people that water should be the primary source of cleansing.
If water cannot be found for cleansing, other cleaning materials can be used, the Diyanet claimed in a statement. 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.
Islam requires believers to adhere to strict rules regarding bathroom use. When a Muslim enters the bathroom, one should say the Audhu (istiadha) and Basmala and then recite the prayer Allahumma innee aoodhu bika minal khubthi wal khabaa-ith, which means O Allah! I seek refuge in you from male and female noxious beings (devils or evil Jinn). The person must enter the bathroom with ones left foot and exit with ones right foot. No one should face or have ones back toward the qibla (direction of prayer the Kaba in Mecca) when urinating or defecating. One website claimed people must clean their private parts with their fingers and dry with a cloth. Toilet paper is allowed if a proper cloth is not available.
In Turkey, the toilets contain a nozzle in the back of the toilet called taharet muslugu. It turns on and allows Muslims to clean themselves with flowing water. There are quite a few websites dedicated to informing travelers regarding restrooms in the Muslim nation.
The Diyanet also told followers they are allowed to use products containing alcohol for hygiene as long as the alcohol was not consumed.

I agree. All the pics with that nozzle situated inside the bowl.... YUCK!
Depends on which country you are in. In many countries, you don’t dry it. That’s why you see people occasionally with wet pants. In some, you use toilet paper, and in others there is a small towel hanging there if you care to use it. Japan has some very advanced toilets which actually blowdry it.
The nozzle isn’t underwater...you just hold it just inside the bowl. Also, the handle’s no dirtier than touching the handle you use to flush the toilet. You’re not supposed to lick your hands after use! Go to the sink and wash like a normal person.

Tagline agrees...

Dude, you seem obsessed with this...
I am entitled to my opinion, and I don’t really give a $hit about the alleged benefits of toilet designs in other countries. Here in the United States, when I utilize a toilet, I expect to LEAVE something in it. I don’t want ANYTHING squirting back out at me! Especially something coming from inside the same place I, and others, leave human excrement. So I repeat myself...YUCK!!!!
You may like having something coming out of the toilet squirting you in the a$$. I don’t. What ever floats your boat...
Not obsessed, just trying to help Kangaroos_girl understand how these things work. She’s obviously never seen one before.
Speaking of buttholes, it’s considered bad form to talk about someone in a post and not ping them to it.
I am familiar as I care to be with any variety of bidet. That you are trying to convince me how wonderful they are is really kind of strange and bordering on disturbing. Like I said previously, if you like them then go for it. I will never be interested in spraying my girl parts with any device someone has used previously to spray their own boy/girl parts, including but not limited to traditional bidets, toiletbidets, toilets that have been converted with some cheap sprayer to be a toiletbidets or perio bottles.
When did I say they were wonderful? I’m not pushing for them, just describing them for someone (yourself) whom has obviously never traveled any of the many parts of the globe where they are in use. That’s all.
I guess I need to get around more.
