I don’t understand how the prophet always relieved himself far from anyone else’s company or line of sight,it was always done far away and secluded, yet people around him knew if he sat down or stood up. Is this not contradictory?

In reply to Sister 519.

Yes that’s what I was wondering. If you are urinating standing up into a modern toilet in private, what’s the difference between that and sitting down? I’m assuming in the time of the prophet (saw) that they had holes in the ground, so yes you’d probably make a mess with the urine going so far to the ground. But I know if I was a guy I’d love to be able to pee standing up, to me it’s so much cleaner than sitting on the dirty toilet seat… :S
I have always found this issue perplexing and unfortunately this article has not clarified it for me.

In reply to intaj. The Koran's only referance to urinating is in Sura (5:6).This verse just tells people to be clean, that is all. It dosn't tell men to sit urinating.I'm a muslim, I urinate standing up, and use urinals. I always was wash my hands with soap when I finish, and I'm a very clean man.This is all the Koran requires.

I don’t understand why many Muslims don’t take these issues seriously and chose to either ignore them or make fun of them. What’s so laughable about wanting to be clean and private while using the restroom? I am a woman, so I don’t see the common practice of men in men’s restrooms. However, I imagine that with (1) the observation of the comments above and (2) the observation that such an article is needed in the first place and (3) the knowledge that most Western and Western-influenced bathrooms have public urinals, then it can be concluded that a large portion of the male Muslim community uses public urinals with no walls around them, most of which also don’t have toilet paper beside them. Apparently, this is also practiced in Muslim-majority countries and even in mosque restrooms, according to comments above. Seriously, why wouldn’t you want to wipe yourself after you go? It’s just part of being clean. And why would you want to go while others are next to you, potentially even peaking at you? Why? Women, as far as I know, wouldn’t readily accept public urinating and not wiping themselves like many men do. Why are people embarrassed to discuss this more widely and why isn’t it just obvious, basic knowledge already? There’s nothing shameful about discussing restroom cleanliness and privacy, especially if it is part of your religion.

I believe the Prophet did not have access to sewage systems.
If everybody used 3 stones, the sewage systems would be pilled up with stones, and the opposite to the Prophet’s dication would occur.
Hence, I do not see how the underlying philosophy of the argument is applicable.

In reply to Anthony Chaudry. A drop of urine, if dropped from a height, as small as six inches, may splinter in to many droplets and fall on one's body, clothing. I feel that 'Sit And Do It' is best towards purity and good health. Sharif M Rahman
