Imam -asws replied one should not face or turn back towards Qibla neither should face or turn back towards the wind direction. \n In another tradition, it is forbidden to face or turn back in the direction of moon and a person who faces Qibla in lavatory and shifts his positions after noticing the Qibla direction-will not leave the lavatory but all his sins are forgiven. \n Tradition 2.6 \n Rasool Allah saw warned those who sit for longer period in the lavatory that they are at risk of getting infected by the disease of bleeding intestines. \n Tradition 2.7 \n Umer bin Yazid asked from Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws regarding reciting Quran and \u2018Tassibih\u2019 in lavatory. Imam -asws replied that it is forbidden to recite more than \u2018Ait-e-Qursi\u2019, praising Allah -azwj and \u2018Al Hamdo lil-la Rab-ul-allameen\u2019.\u00a0 If someone hears \u2018Azan\u2019 in the lavatory, he should repeat the \u2018Azan\u2019 behind the reciter.\u00a0 And should not try to refrain from praising Allah -azwj, regardless of one\u2019s circumstances, as it is always gratifying to praise Allah -azwj. The Imam -asws said: \n Hazrat Musa bin Imran -asws submitted himself to Allah -azwj and asked Oh God! Guide me if I should pray to you aloud or quietly as You are far away as well as very near to me.\u00a0 Allah -azwj revealed to Hazrat Musa -asws, when someone prays to me I become his friend and companion. Hazrat Musa -asws then asked, sometimes I am not in my best (spiritual\/physical) status to supplicate You.\u00a0 Allah -azwj replied, you could always remember Me -azwj in all your circumstances. \n \u2018 And it is not permissible for someone to enter lavatory with a ring bearing Allah -azwj \u2019s name(s) or taking a book containing Quranic verse(s) but if he does so (by mistake) and he is wearing such a ring that has a stone (Zumard) or Allah -azwj \u00a0 name, he should remove it and upon leaving lavatory, he should recite \u2018All praise are only for Allah -azwj Who has relieved me from discomfort and transformed my food and drink into enjoyable feast and saved me from bad fortune and inconvenience\u2019. \n Tradition 2.8 \n Rasool Allah saw has forbidden his followers to wash-up one\u2019s back with the right hand after using the lavatory. \n Tradition 2.9 \n Zarah once forgot to wash-up after urinating and offered his prayers and I asked from Hazrat Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq -asws what should be done under these conditions. Imam -asws replied wash-up first and then re-offer your prayers. \n Tradition 2.10 \n It is narrated from Hazrat Imam Ali Raza -asws \u00a0that it is sufficient to wash-up the surface of the bowl area without any need to try to clean it from inside and Rasool Allah saw has forbidden you to talk inside lavatory and whoever talks while in lavatory he prayers will not be answered. Rasool Allah saw said if you are busy in the lavatory and someone calls you, do not answer him until you are finished using lavatory.\u00a0 And Rasool Allah saw has told women to wash-up excessively (as compared with men) so that they achieve better cleanliness. \n Tradition 2.11 \n Hazrat Imam Mohammed Baqir -asws said the reason for forbidding use of fruit bearing tree areas for lavatory purposes is that Allah -azwj has deputed angles on all fruit bearing trees in all garden, forests and wilderness around the world and when the plants and trees blossom, they are protected by angels if this measures were not at placed then all fruits and flowers would be consumed by the birds and animals.\u00a0 And this is the reason why people find more peace and joy near these trees as angels are guarding them. \n Tradition 2.12\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Istabra \n It is narrated from Rasool Allah saw that it is recommended to sweep (with pressure) one\u2019s fingers from the vein connected to the bleeder to the end of urethra three times and then pour some water and recite \u2018All praise is for Allah swt who has made water pure rather impure\u2019\u00a0 and then should pour twice as much water where once has drops of urine and should it repeat twice.\u00a0 This is the minimum requirement that is permissible.\u00a0 Afterwards, he should wash-up his bottom area so that it is clean from all impurities. Similarly, \u2018Istabra\u2019 should be performed when urination is completed. If someone remembers after offering his prayers that he did not perform \u2018istabra\u2019 after urinating, it is obligatory on him to perform \u2018istabra\u2019, ablutions and then reoffer his prayers.\u00a0 However, if someone forgets to wash-up after emptying his bowls, and has offered his prayers, it is not obligatory for him to wash-up and re-offer his prayers.\u00a0 Also one can use stone, earth to clean-up bowl area instead of using water. \n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tradition 2.1 It is narrated from Amir-ul-Momineen Hazrat Imam Ali-asws that all human beings are escorted by an angel who has been asked to turn one\u2019s head down when he sits on the lavatory so that he should look at the discharge and the angel would then say, look oh son of Adam, that was… \n Use of Lavatory ","protected":false},"author":10373,"featured_media":22022,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_theme","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"Layout":"2c-r","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-qasim","post-5175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-article"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10373"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5175"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5175\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25322,"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5175\/revisions\/25322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hubeali.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
