  • Abstract
    Ablution it has become synonymous with water because in terms of language ablution an act uses of water at a particular body to cleanse itself from small impurities. In Islam ablutions is spiritual washing before performing the prayers. Ablution process normally requires about six to nine litres of water volume, but according to Islamic hadiths, about half to two litres only will be used for ablution. However, those inefficient will take greater volume of water than it should. Furthermore, Islam introduced a specific place to perform ablution, to facilitate Muslims to perform the ritual of ablution. All ablution station is in many design variations. In variations include human behaviour and human gestures will affect the way they perform ablution. From the consolidation between ablution ritual and product design is expected to facilitate the practical implementation of ablution and without a sense of any doubt, it also will engage on minimum usage of water for the ablution ritual but still complies with its general rules.
