Okay then, if I'm not allowed to talk whilst I'm in the toilet, then I'm not even allowed to say I'm in the toilet even if someone's about to open the door or switch off the lights. --Fantastic4boy 23:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I find some of the rules stated below to be ridiculous/bias without credible sources:

  • One should not face nor turn your back on Mecca whilst relieving yourself. One should sit at 90 degrees.
  • One should be out of sight of people when going to the toilet.
  • It is considered forbidden to relieve oneself whilst standing up, lying down or if you are completely nude. (citation needed)
  • One should avoid going to the toilet anywhere where people may take rest or gather for any purpose.
  • Do not raise clothes until you get close to the ground and do not uncover the body any more than is needed.
  • One should sit on the feet (e.g. squat) keeping thighs wide apart with the stress on the left foot.
  • Do not look to the private parts of the body nor the waste matter passed from the body.
  • Do not sit more than needed.
  • Do not spit, blow nose, look hither and thither, touch the body unnecessarily nor look towards the sky but relieve oneself with the eyes downcast in modesty.

I don't remember any of my Muslim friends mentioning about some of the rules above. So, I have questions to ask from the above. If you're sitting on a toilet seat in a position that is facing Mecca, then what would you do? You're? Then, your back is going to face the direction of Mecca and that'll be even more offensive that you're relieving your. So what if guys that stand up to relieve themselves in urination? Would I be sinned for doing it? I know lots of Muslim guys that do them. With the stress on the left foot - where did you get that information from (and quote them with verifiable sources please)? Okay, so how about if I have a block nose whilst I'm relieving myself and that I need to get rid of the stuff in my nose as an emergency approach so that I can breath easily? If I look at the sky, what would happen to me? --Fantastic4boy 00:12, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard anything about facing Mecca. I have been raised a Muslim in the middle east too.

Please see references section on credible sources. That is what it is there for.-Randalllin 02:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
