Question

I live in Canada where I work we share the same toilet seat as in Western countries. For my own safety I wipe it clean with a toilet paper. Will I be in state of impurity that I still need to take a bath to clean myself or will it be sufficient for me to make wudu and pray? Jizakallah.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

It will be sufficient to make wudhu and perform salah.

And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best

Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
