What is the ruling on a woman exposing her 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) in front of other women in the restrooms?

Question:
A woman asks: We request that the sisters be guided to the necessity of maintaining modesty in the restrooms and not exposing their 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) to one another.

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to expose her 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered) in front of other women; rather, she must cover herself. The restrooms are equipped with private areas and doors that one enters if she wishes to clean herself after relieving herself. She should not clean herself at the washing stations in front of the other women, but rather inside the erected doors and rooms prepared for that purpose. She should only perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) at the washing stations by washing the face and hands, wiping the head, and washing the feet. As for cleaning oneself after relieving oneself, that is to be done inside the private rooms.
