SUNNATS AND DUAS UPON ENTERING AND LEAVING THE TOILET 1. For the purpose of istinjah, take along water and lumps of clay. To use three lumps of clay or three stones is mustahab (preferable). If circumstances prevail, then this will be sufficient. Due to (clay lumps), difficulties are experienced in flushing the toilets. Thus, the Ulama have advised that toilet paper shouldbe used so that the flush is not spoilt. 2. It was the practice of Rasulullah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to visit the toilet with his head covered and with his shoes on. (Alaikum besunnati) 3. Before entering the toilet recite this dua: بسم اللہ- اللھم انی اعوذبک من الخبث و الخبائث (Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Ibne Majah) Trans: O Allah! I seek your protection from the male and female Jinns. Note: Mullah Ali Qari (رحمۃ اللہ علیہ ) has written in Mirqaat that with the blessings of the recitation of this dua, a veil is cast between the person visiting the toilet and the evil Jinns. Hence they are unable to see one’s private parts. He has also written that the () of the word can be read with either a dhamma (Pesh) or a Saakin (Jazm). (Mirqaat ‐ Vol. 1, pg. 361) 4. When entering the toilet, enter with the left foot. (Alaikum besunnati quoting from Ibne Majah) 5. When removing the undergarment,it is better to lower oneself towards the ground as much as easily possible and thereafter remove the garment. (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawood)
