ETIQUETTE OF USING THE TOILET
2

• Istinjaa is an Arabic word. It means
  purification. If you purify something, you make
  it clean by removing every dirty and harmful
  thing from it.
• When you need to go to the toilet, do not carry
  anything with you that has Allahs name on it.
  Before stepping into the toilet with your left
  foot, say Bismillaah. Allaahumma innee aoodhu
  bika minal-khubuthi wal-khabaath (In the name of
  Allah. O Allah, I seek protection in you from the
  male and female Devils).

• Keep yourself screened from the view by closing
  the door of the toilet. Do not talk while
  relieving yourself. You should not return the
  greeting (As-salaamu Alaikum) of someone who
  greets you. Do not urinate while. Standing,
  without a good reason.
• If you sneeze, you should praise Allah in your
  heart. Al-hamdu lillah (All praises and thanks
  are due to Allah). Do not say it loudly.
• If you have to answer the call of nature
  outdoors, you should use an out-of-the way spot
  where the ground is soft and where no one can see
  you. You must not urinate in holes, wells, pits
  or in the shade of trees.

• After relieving yourself, clean yourself well
  with water, but if you are using a tissue make
  sure to wipe yourself at least three times with
  a fresh tissue each time.
• Come out of the toilet with your right foot
  first. Saying Ghufraanak (I seek your
  forgiveness, (O Allah)).
