Toilet Paper, Wudu, and 5:6

Nyte

Hello Everyone. I have a question. My wife is certain that you must wash your waste excretion areas with water in order to perform salah, and I tell her that 56 gives the simple basis that is required once someone has answered the call of nature. I believe toilet paper is good as well and is good for peforming salah, although there is no harm in doing extra washing. However, she thinks any "najes" will invalidate prayer. Can I hear some honest opinions and foresight. Thank you. God bless.

I'd prefer you wash yourself thoroughly.

Well, the discussion on what nullifies what is never ending.... but, using water is no doubt much more hygienic. Just rubbing the excrement off with dry paper won't do much cleaning on the finer levels. If for no other reason, at least use water for the cleanliness sake. Also toilet paper are manufactured with loads of nasty chemicals, but as I said, use water for the sake of freshness and cleanliness. As far as religious dogma is concerned... i don't know. Just use common sense.

I don't now how you guys do it, but using ones hand and water is i think the normal way.

DON'T USE WATER , use toilet paper or even a stone, Unless you have soap or something for the the bugs or you are asking for it................sickness for yourself and others as-well - i think.

yes

One can use both water and paper in any practical way and sequences that does the job.
Afterwards, obviously soap (or similar) is a must. (I assume soap is available)

My answer do the best you can with what you have.

Side note
Tell her post-toilet urine excretion may be common. Read from here onwards

You can do a test with some cheap white undies and $10 UV light. She might be alarmed that vast majority of her prayers were not valid. ;D
