Question:

What should one do if there is no water available for cleaning the private parts?

Answer:

The fatwa of the Lajnah ad-Da’imah and many other scholars is that what is more preferable and more effective in purifying oneself is the usage of water. However, one may also use other materials the likes of toilet paper to clean himself with, even if water is available with the condition that he uses three pieces of toilet paper or more until impurity is removed. And Allah knows best.
