What is the Mas’allah pertaining to using the Eastern toilet (squatpan) & Western toilet(high toilet)?

Do we have to use a squatpan? I have difficulty using a squatpan? Can one use a high toilet when taking the necessary precautions not to let any water or najaasat splash on oneself? Jazakallah Khair

Answer:

One should relieve oneself in a squatting posture. However, if one is unable
or experiences difficulty in squatting, he may use the western toilet and
avoid the impurities splashing on the body or clothes.
