Is it permissible to pray in the restroom for one in dire necessity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: A Muslim woman and her family are disbelievers, and they told her, "If you pray, we will kill you or torture you." Is it permissible for her to pray in the restroom, may Allah keep you safe?

Answer:
She should not pray in that place, but she should not show them that she is praying. She prays between herself and Allah, reciting quietly, and she is in a locked room, for example her bedroom, and prays there. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
