child should not be made to sit for evacuating his/her bowels or bladder

bowels or bladder at the following four places: (i) In blind alleys
without the permission of the people of thosealleys. (ii) In the
property (land) of a person who has not granted permission for its use
for this purpose. (iii) At a place which is reserved for a particular
group (e.g.school, hostel, orphanage etc.). (iv) On the graves of the
believers or at the sacred places whose use for these purposes amount to
their desecration.
٦٥. In the following three cases anus can be
purified only with water: (i) If another impurity also comes out along
with the faeces. (ii) If an external impuritytouches the anus. (iii) If
more than usual impurity spreads on the anus. In the cases other than
those mentioned above, anus can be purified either by water or by
usingtissue paper, cloth or stone etc., although it is better to wash it
with water. (for details: see Article ٦٨ - ٧٠).
٦٦. The urinary organ cannot be purified without
