Yes, they use toilet paper when available. If not they use water or other appropriate cleansing product.

Yes, it is true that muslims don't use toilet papers. They used to wash with water. Muslims are very hygenic people and they like to keep themselves clean all the time. Cleanliness is necessary in Islam.
Muslims can use toilet paper as a second option if they don't find a water around them...but whenever find water they must wash themselves. Water is preferable than anything else.

Using water is preferred instead of toilet paper as water cleans throughly and being hygenic and clean is a requirement for prayers.. Now lets look at this from another perspective. What happens if that filth fall on your hand, will u still wipe it with toilet paper or wash it? I'd say you'd wash it i dont think u'd just wipe it with toilet paper and smell it later on unless u'd have a fetish fror that

In less than civilized places in other countries, they don't use toilet paper when they poop. Instead they use water to wash "it " from "there" and then wash their hands with soap and water. I am not sure about the Muslims though.

Well let me tell you, Muslim to not use toilet paper for one reason.Because where they come from is very HOT and if they used it after a while it will smell BAD.. so therefore they will wash up instead.. If they are home they will jump and take a shower, if they are somewhee else let's say Construction site they will take a bottle and wash up. and then use the paper. :)

What? Of course they do. In fact, their culture dictates that they only use their left hand for that. Their right hand is used for everything else - shaking hands, eating, etc. You NEVER eat with your left hand!
In olden days, if you were found guilty of being a thief, they would cut off your right hand - quite literally cutting you of from society.

I'm told that in the outlying areas that sand is used. Hard to even think about that. Maybe somebody can explain that method.
