The ruling on speaking inside restrooms

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sisters M-F-W-F have a question. They ask: Is it permissible for us to speak or converse with others inside the restrooms? We do some work in these restrooms, such as washing clothes and other things, given our circumstances?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with speaking inside the restrooms, except if a person is relieving himself, urinating or defecating; in that case, it is not permissible for him to speak. However, if he enters the restroom to clean it, wash clothes, or do something similar, there is nothing wrong with him conversing with others. Yes.
