How Did the Prophet Clean Himself after Relieving Himself?
1. Prophet Muhammad was economical in his use of water when purifying himself; he would not use too much of it to the extent that he would do Wudu with a Mudd of water. 2. If the Prophet needed to clean himself after relieving himself, or to remove any filth, he would do that directly with his left hand. 3. When the Prophet came out of the place where he went to relieve himself, he would rub his hand on the ground, as noted in the Hadith of Maymunah, then he would “wash his private parts. Then he rubbed his hand on the ground.”SaveHow Does a Muslim Clean Himself after Using the Toilet?
1- When a person relieves himself, he must cleanse himself of impurities either with water – which is best and most perfect – or with something other than water which will remove the impurities, such as toilet paper, fabric, stones or something else. 2- You have no excuse for not praying or for delaying the prayer beyond the appointed time because you are unable to do Istinja’ since you can remove the impurity and cleanse yourself of it using tissues and the like.SaveDoes Impurity Transfer?
1. Dry impurity cannot be transferred if it comes into contact with another dry surface. But if the impurity is wet, then it is most likely that it could be transferred, whether it comes into contact with something that is wet or that is dry. 2. Honey, cream and other semi-liquids are affected by impure substances if they come into contact and mix with them. 3. If the impurity is a small amount, such that it cannot be seen by the naked eye, such as small droplets of urine and the like, then some of the scholars say that it is overlooked. 4. If the feet on which there is impurity become sweaty, the impurity will inevitably be transferred to the socks, because wet impurity is transferred to other things, even if the place to which it is transferred is dry.SaveCharacteristics of a Muslim Businessman

Items that are solid and smooth (impermeable) may be purified by wiping them. If the impure substance gets onto cushions and large furnishings, water should be poured on the impure spot, until the water overwhelms the impure substance that got onto it.
