I am asking for a book that can help me with proper etiquettes of Taharat.

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalamualaikum,

Can you please let me know a book where I can find the proper etiquettes of Taharat? I have always wanted to know how one can maintain taharah while using office restrooms where there is no water sprayers or jugs. Also, can one stand and urinate when there is no availabitity of a sitting toilet?

Jazakallah

الجواب وباللہ التوفیق

  1. When a water container or a pipe is not available then one should use wet tissue paper and clean the area thoroughly such that no trace of the نجاست (impurity) should remain. This way the طہارت (purity) is achieved. After that without using water to clean oneself it is permissible to make Wudu and pray Salat.
  2. Where there is no toilet to sit on, a person can urinate standing as needed but it is necessary to be cautious that urine should not touch the clothes or the body.

Note: You may read بہشتی زیور (Bahishti Zewar) by Hazrat Hakeemul Ummat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi Saheb or طہارت اور نماز کے مسائل (Taharat aur Namaz ke Masail) by Mufti Mukarram Mohiyyuddin Saheb.
