15. After urinating, if one needs to dry himself he should do so behind some barrier (i.e. wall etc.)

16. Perform Wudhu according to the Sunnat at home.

Note: In today’s times, due to Sunnats being neglected, it is preferable to perform them in the Masjid.

Sunnahs And Duas Upon Entering And Leaving The Toilet – Part 1

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 should be used so that the flush is not spoilt.

2. It was the practice of Rasulullah to visit the toilet with his head covered and with his shoes on.

3. Before entering the toilet recite this dua:
(Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Ibne Majah)
Trans: O Allah! I seek your protection from the male and female Jinns.
Note: Mullah Ali Qari (R.A) 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).
