Istinja
Istinja is the Islamic term for the action of using water to clean oneself after urinating and/or defecating. Istinja is obligatory; this means removing whatever has been passed from the genitals or the rectum with water. Toilet paper and other clean implements like stones can be used in addition to water to aid in purifying the area. Istijmar is the equivalent action just using stones, toilet paper, or anything else that is pure without the water. The aim of this is to remove the impurity and maintain hygiene in accordance with Islamic law and principal. Water is standard for toilet hygiene within Muslim homes and countries, where a series of vessels that carry water (such as the '' tabo/cebok'' in Maritime Southeast Asia, the ''buta'' in West Africa, or ''lota''/'' bodna'' in the Indian subcontinent) and internationally, the ''shattaf'' bidet shower, are used instead of, or in addition to, toilet roll.

Tabo (hygiene)
The ''tabò'' () is the traditional hygiene tool primarily for cleansing, bathing, and cleaning the floor of the bathroom in the Philippines, Indonesia, East Timor, Malaysia, and Brunei. Tabò is the Filipino name, while ''gayung'' and ''cebok'' (pronounced chabo') are the equivalent terms used in Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, and East Timor. The tabò could most commonly be found in the provinces though it is also widely used in the cities. The word may be related to the word ''cebok'' in neighboring Indonesia and Malaysia, which describes the process of cleansing oneself using a tabò (or ''cebok'') in a '' mandi'' (another Bahasa phrase for the tabò is ''kamar mandi''). The ''tabò'' can sometimes be translated into English as a "dipper" or "pitcher", but according to Michael Tan, chancellor at the University of the Philippines-Diliman and a columnist at the ''Philippine Daily Inquirer'', ''tabò'' is much more than a dipper. The plastic ''tabò'' is an almost indispensable ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Muslim Hygienical Jurisprudence
Purity ( ar, طهارة, ''ṭahāra(h)'') is an essential aspect of Islam. It is the opposite of ''najāsa'', the state of being ritually impure. It is achieved by first removing physical impurities (for example, urine) from the body, and then removing ritual impurity by means of '' wudu'' (usually) or ''ghusl''. In the Quran The Quran says: and also there is one verse which concerned with Taharah or purity and impurity of Humans: Importance in Islam Observing cleanliness of the soul, the clothes, and the surroundings is obligatory upon every Muslim, and this is considered one of the pillars of Islam. Before offering prayers, it is necessary to perform wudu, and in certain cases, ghusl. The purifying agent is always clean water. However, during times when water is not available or is scarce, symbolic wudu and ghusl can be performed with clean dry earth which is known as Tayammum. If the body or clothes show traces of urine, feces, semen or alcohol, then ''taharah'' be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bidet
A bidet ( or ) is a bowl or receptacle designed to be sat on in order to wash one's genitalia, perineum, inner buttocks, and anus. The modern variety has a plumbed-in water supply and a drainage opening, and is thus a plumbing fixture subject to local hygiene regulations. The bidet is designed to promote personal hygiene and is used after defecation, and before and after sexual intercourse. It can also be used to wash feet, with or without filling it up with water. In several European countries, a bidet is now required by law to be present in every bathroom containing a toilet bowl. It was originally located in the bedroom, near the chamber-pot and the marital bed, but in modern times is located near the toilet bowl in the bathroom. Fixtures that combine a toilet seat with a washing facility include the electronic bidet. Opinions as to the necessity of the bidet vary widely over different nationalities and cultures. In those cultures which use it habitually, such as in parts of W ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
