According to traditional Halakha, observant Jews are permitted to use toilet paper on Shabbat, provided the sheets were pre-cut before the commencement of the holy day. Because tearing paper or creating new items violates the Sabbath prohibition against manufacturing or reshaping objects, many Orthodox Jews prepare by using pre-cut tissues or specialized kosher-for-Shabbat toilet paper rolls to ensure they can maintain personal hygiene without breaking any traditional labor restrictions.
