It is Africans (Mali I know for example) who wipe their ass with their hand (left, I beleive).

It is considered very rude to eat with that hand, or to touch others with it.

arabians. My friend who lived in saudia arabia said that. And they said you have to write with your right hand, even if you are left handed. Shake hands with right hand because the left hand is used for ass wiping.

I am forced to agree with Dis. Yet I don't take Dis seriously. What am I to do? Ack!

the universe will explode (or is it implode?)

[Arrian]

Nah, just my head. The Universe (or multiverse) will be fine.

Or I could take you seriously, but only when you're being serious.

No...no...Arabians wash too...just like the Indians (bare-hands and water). And yes, they too do all the other stuff with the right hand....for the same reason: left hand is designated for ass-washing.

I wash my ass with my right hand. Just thought you guys would like to know that.

I'm very right handed. I have very little ambidextrous qualities. And ass washing is a complicated ritual that must be performed with care.

Okay I must stop now. This thread has degenerated as far as any poly thread possibly can.

If my knowledge of Islamic law serves me correctly, istinaj is supposed to be done with an odd number of stones, but not with dung or animal bones, and according to later jursiprudence, also not with paper for the reasons that it defiles a medium on which the Quran may be written, and because that is the way the Western kafirs do it.

The full rules for ass-wiping, the Islamic way (TM)

Unsuitable items for instinja

1.

Bones, edibles, excreta and all impure substances.
2.

That stone or clay which has already been used for istinja.
3.

Baked bricks, small pieces of broken earthenware, glass, coal, limestone, steel, silver, gold, etc.
4.

Those things that do not clean impurities, such as vinegar.
5.

Those things that are eaten by animals, such as straw and grass.
6.

Those things that are of value, irrespective of whether they are of little or great value, such as clothing or the extract of some plants.
7.

Parts of a human, such as hair, bone, meat.
8.

The mat, dirt, or broom of a musjid.
9.

The leaves of trees.
10.

Paper, irrespective of whether something is written on it or not (this excludes toilet paper).
11.

Zam zam water.
12.

Someone else's possessions without their permission, irrespective of whether it be water, clothing, or anything else.
13.

Cool! Didn't realize there were so many rules for this stuff in Islamic law. And now I know not to pick up any stones or rags from my Muslim friends' bathrooms.

Unless there is a water shortage, they do it just like us, with water.

The animal bones and dung story is quite interesting. Why are these items prohibited? It is because Allah promised the Jinns (a magical race in Islamic mythology) that in heaven (or hell, or something, I can't exactly remember) that the meat of animals will be re-formed around their dung and bones for the Jinns to eat. Thus, defiling these bones and dung is doing Allah and his Jinns a disfavour.

I'm glad I'm not a Jinn.
