The ruling on speaking in the restroom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In some restrooms, there are washing machines for wigs, which requires some women to speak in the restrooms. What is required of them?
Answer:
There is no contradiction. Speaking does not contradict the intention in the restroom. Speaking about relieving oneself, while relieving oneself, is what is prohibited. As for speaking in the restroom to ask for something or to call someone, that is permissible. You are not relieving yourself. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
