Cleaning oneself in public restrooms

Q: How is one supposed to clean himself after defecating in restrooms in public malls, offices, planes and trains etc. in western countries.

I am from Pakistan and we have Muslim showers everywhere but I have moved recently and I travel a lot due to the nature of my work and this dilemma is driving me nuts. Kindly guide me.

A: Whether you are in Pakistan or anywhere else you should clean yourself just as a Muslim cleans himself. Going to a western country does not make you a non-Muslim that you ape their ways. You should maintain your values and your laws of cleanliness. Many people carry water along and wash themselves.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
