Answer
(Fatwa: 1991/1534=H)
It is possible for a thin or a slim person to use the Western-type toilets if he is cautious and careful, but for a fat man it is difficult to use it with comfort. It is better to use simple toilet if possible and try to have the same in ones house. If someone is forced to use it then he should use it with extra care and caution and clean the body and cloth after using it. It is recommended to keep a particular lungi/cloth for this purpose and wear it while using the English toilets then change it after cleaning your body so that you can pray salah and perform other things with content of heart and complete satisfaction.
(2) If you use/sit on it wearing slippers then the foot may not be polluted.
