Spacesuits are fitted with diapers so that astronauts can work outside for long hours (especially during spacewalks).
First of all, toilets have various restrains (foot loops, thigh restraints, etc.) so that astronauts will not float away when he/she is using it. Also, due to weightlessness, the toilets rely on air and vacuum pump which creates suction to remove the waste. When urinating, astronauts use a large tube that is connected to the bottom front of the toilet. This tube also has air circulating through it carrying the urine to a holding tank. Anatomically correct urine funnel adapters are attached to this tube so that both men and women can use the same toilet. Here is a picture of a toilet in the space station.
The space station has a full body shower unit. When astronauts want to take a shower, they step into a cylindrical shower stall and close the door. They then get themselves wet and wash up just like you would on Earth. However, due to weightlessness, the water droplets and soap don't flow downwards into a drain, they float about. Astronauts use a suction device to get rid of the waste water. I do not think that the shuttle has this unit, but you can use a moist bath sponge to clean yourself in the shuttle if you want.

Yes.The simplest bathing method aboard a spacecraft is a sponge bath with wet towels. Astronauts on early space stations used a fully enclosed, collapsible plastic shower stall. This allowed the astronauts to spray their bodies with water, then vacuum the stall and towel themselves dry. Newer space stations have permanent shower stalls.

They do not have a bath or shower on the Shuttle, so they just wash off with wet washcloths, using soaps that they don't have to rinse off. When they brush their teeth, they can either swallow the toothpaste or spit it into a washcloth. Designing a toilet for zero-gravity is tougher. They use air flow to make the urine or feces go where they want, since gravity will not do it for them. They have to be more careful and think about what they are doing with the toilet in the Shuttle.

with regard to the direction, if a Muslim is traveling and he has no clue wherein direction Mecca is then he can pray in any direction he needs because of the fact all instructions belong to Allah. approximately prayer timings, in case you flow to the poles, people there might desire to choose for days devoid of seeing the solar in winters. In such circumstances they might desire to adapt the prayer timings of the closest city the place prayer timings are desperate staring on the solar. So prayer timing is not any massive deal the two and can be genuinely controlled. approximately prayer positions, if a man or woman is paralysed without physique flow what so ever then he can pray via only shifting his eyes. So staring on the placement a man or woman has to evolve. Islam is very straightforward however the Mullahs make it puzzling each so often. nutrition and water at the instant are not a controversy.

Doubt so, water don't naturally flow downwards in space, instead they flow about and around you, so theoretically they can't have a normal bath in space.
Unless they feel obliged to 'bath' in floating water
