Often, when I relieve myself, my bottom is quite dirty- is one allowed to moisten the toilet tissue to clean one’s self?
Answer:
On Shabbos this is not recommended.
If the tissue will become reasonably wet, wiping might involve a problem of sechitah — you will be interested in getting the water out of the moist tissue, and this is not permitted on Shabbos (there is a dispute concerning the use of baby wipes, when used gently; it would not be permitted to use them for strong wiping, where the objective is to ‘wash’ the area with the liquid that comes out).
It is better to simply wash the area with water, where necessary.
