The Shaykh : Yes, Fahd?
The questioner : May Allah reward you. If a person cleans himself in the restroom without using water, using paper, sheets, or tissues, and water is available, is it said that he has left the preferred method?
The Shaykh : Do not these tissues purify?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, do not stones purify?
Which is more purifying, tissues or stones?
The questioner : The tissue.
The Shaykh : Be decisive.
The questioner : The tissue, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Well, if stones are sufficient, then a tissue is even more so.
The questioner : Is water available?
The Shaykh : Even if water is found, cleaning with stones is sufficient even if water is found.
The questioner : And it is not said that one is preferred?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : And it is not said?
The Shaykh : It is undoubtedly, as the jurists said, that combining them is better; combining them is better.
