Toilet cubicle for muslims

[thesheriff443]

Was using a recently built toilet block and in one cubicle they had ceramic shaped thing like a funny looking shower tray with a hole in the middle and a shower hose with a push button for running water.

Never seen this before in my life, have these been around in this country a long time? Or are they new.

I don't have an agenda with this thread just it's not been discussed on here before!?

how is it for muslims?

[Beso]

Probably for the chinese.

I thought you were gonna say the cubicles had plastic mat down so they wouldn't get a staph infection when they kissed the ground during prayers.

[Crimson Dynamo]

pandering to any backward superstition is a way backwards. We should be trying to educate people who succumb to cults like this

Are you not just describing a bidet?

[bots]

that's a fairly common type of toilet in France :shrug:

I saw some at Dubai Airport. Walked into one and wondered what the heck it was. I’m not sure if it was the Islamic version of a bidet or for washing feet - or both. Got out put pretty quick.

Apparently my husband used to have one in his old house. posh bugger :D

They are not quite the same though - a bit like a hole in the ground that you either stand over or in. It felt very strange.

Stand...IN?! :umm2:

[thesheriff443]

Stand...IN?! :umm2:

You actually squat over the hole and go to poo

[thesheriff443]

If you google muslim toilet you will see what I'm talking about

[Brillopad]

If it’s for washing feet - ablution. It’s a big Muslim tradition.

no its a superstition and should be eradicated and not encouraged

There was one in the villa we stayed at a few years ago on holiday - daughter thought it was a little sink for kids :joker:.

Something unusual to this country + ceramic tiles = Muslim

You actually squat over the hole and go to pooFull squat is actually healthier than sitting on a toilet, it's how humans are "meant to" poop.

Also why if you're constipated, putting your feet up on a stool while sat on the toilet (so that knees point upwards) can help get things moving. Pro tip.

Don't know what you are talking about + nothing to add to the thread = marsh

There's nothing to add to a thread assuming something is Muslim because it has, and I quote, "ceramic tiles".

Maybe elaborate instead of opting to get personal, your default position, eh?

Its there for people who prefer to use it I suppose.

It is technically the easier way to physically go, and cleaning with a shower hose intead of paper is technically both cleaner and more environmentally friendly

I just prefer comfort and familiarity to technicalities!

[Marsh.]

Using more water must have some negative effect, aside from obviously easing up on the paper usage.

:joker: i think i’ve grown immune to things like this, just another day

more water gets used creating a toilet roll, a shower hose after every visit uses less water. (One toilet roll needs 37 gallons of water)

If google muslim toilet it comes up with the images of the toilet I'm talking about it also goes on to talk about Islamic toilet etiquette
