The lie that the jinn see the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) in the place of relief

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And he said: O Shaykh, I seek forgiveness from Allah. Is it true that the one who enters the place of relief and does not say, "This stone is in the name of Allah," is seen by the jinn? They come until he flies away and they see his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). Or is it enough that they merely see his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered)? Perhaps they even tempt him and confuse his mind. Many people are afflicted with madness in the bathrooms.

Answer:
It is a lie, the mischief of the Shayatin (Satan) and the jinn. If he had used the remembrance of Allah before entering, he would have been safe from their evil. He should wipe three times with a tissue. According to the madhhab (school of jurisprudence), if he wipes from three directions, even with one stone, or even with one tissue, if he wipes, that is sufficient according to the madhhab (school of jurisprudence). Yes.
