Among the recommended manners are:

• Enter with the left foot first, lean on it while seated, and leave with the right foot—the opposite of what one does when entering a mosque and the like.
• Distance oneself in an open area, conceal oneself from view, and look for soft ground on which to urinate.
• When finished, wipe the penis with the left hand: from its base toward the tip three times, and likewise give it a gentle shake (1).
• Move to another spot to wash with water (istinjāʾ) if splashing is feared.

It is disliked to:

• Enter carrying something that bears Allah’s name without need,
• Raise one’s garment before nearing the ground,
• Speak while inside,
• Urinate into a crevice,
• Touch the private parts with the right hand,
• Use the right hand for cleansing without an excuse, and
• Face the sun or the moon (2).

It is unlawful to:

• Remain there longer than necessary,
• Urinate or defecate on a pathway, in beneficial shade, at a water source, or beneath a fruit-bearing tree.

One should first perform istijmār (dry cleansing with stones or the like) (3) and then wash with water; either of the two is sufficient unless the filth spreads beyond the usual exit point, in which case water becomes obligatory. Istijmār is valid only with a pure, permissible, and cleansing material, excluding bone, dung, and food.

Three cleansing wipes that remove the impurity are required, each wipe covering the entire area; if cleanliness is not achieved, more wipes are added. It is recommended to end on an odd number. Cleansing is obligatory for every substance that exits the private parts except wind, a pure substance, or anything that does not soil (4). Neither wuḍūʾ nor tayammum is valid until after this cleansing.
