Summary
Using a urination aid product in an emergency is permissible, and its sale in Malaysia is supported. The user must still perform istinja' with stones or water, or dry tissue if water is hard to find, while wet tissue does not meet the requirement. The product may not be used or kept on the person during tawaf, prayer or sa'i, as this amounts to carrying impurity. Users are advised to stay out of public view and keep clothing free of splashes, since purity from impurity is a condition for valid prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara keseluruhan, hukum menggunakan produk bantuan untuk membuang air adalah Harus.
