Answered by Shaykh Amjad Rasheed
Yes, it is permissible for one to confine oneself to using toilet paper even if water is available. [h: However, this is only permissible] on the condition that there are at least three wipings when the substance of the filth is thereby removed. Otherwise, [h: if the substance is not removed after three wipings], it is obligatory to wipe more [h: than three times] until nothing remains except for a trace that could only be removed with water.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Knowledge is only through study." While some knowledge can be gained from reading or casually listening to lectures, the best means to gain knowledge is through finding a qualified teacher and then setting up a systematic program of learning. Picking up a book or reading an article and trying to figure things out on our own is no substitute for learning from someone who has a direct link to our living tradition.
