Istinja

Q: I bought a new house, and the qiblah direction is slightly towards the right however the toilets face north also but straight.

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.

Q:

1. Is it a sin to look at one's faeces after having relieved oneself?

2. Is it permissible to look at faeces in the toilet if one suffers from piles and is looking for signs of bleeding, etc?

3. Is it true that if one looks at stool after defaecating, it can make a person lose their memory?

Q: Is it sunnah for females to cover their head when entering the toilet or their head and all the hair should be covered. The reason is that a cap or turban is generally kept by the bathroom and used to cover the head but the bottom of the hair and tips are exposed.

Q:

1. What is the sharee ruling in the case where the toilet is built 38 degrees away from the direction of the qiblah? Will it be permissible for a person to use such a toilet?

2. How many degrees should the toilet be built away from the qiblah for it to be permissible for one to use such a toilet?

Q: Can a tissue be used and reused to dry the penis after urination maintaining that impurity does not exceed 1 dirham size?

Q: I have a small notebook which I keep on me, in it I have recorded my missed salaat, zakaah due, debts, etc. There is also some notes with Allah's name in it and durood upon Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Is it permissible for me to enter the toilet with this notebook in my pocket.

Q: Is it permissible for one to read literature such as newspapers and magazines, or use his phone to chat, browse the net, etc. while in the toilet?

Q: I have a question regarding the duas which are recited before and after going to the bathroom ("Allahuma innee a'udhu bika minal khubuthi.." and "ghufranak, alhamdulillahilladhi adhaba 'anni..").

Should these duas be recited if my purpose for entering the bathroom is to do wudhu in the sink or to take a shower? Or is it only if I enter the bathroom for going to the toilet?

Q: When one deficates, impure water splashes from the toilet on one's body, and towards the back area, so I pour water from the front and hope it reaches all the impure areas but I don't think it does.

Are these splashes excused or are they impure and need to be washed. If they are impure then what is the correct way of istinja (with water) after deficating?
