Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If a person wants to perform wudu in the bathroom, in the place for relieving oneself. He wants to perform wudu in the bathroom that is the place for relieving oneself, so is it permissible for him to say the Basmalah before the wudu?
Answer:
To say the name of Allah. Yes, this is the case. Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) issued a fatwa that he should say the name of Allah; because saying the name of Allah is obligatory, so he says it even if he is in the place of the restrooms, fulfilling what is obligatory upon him.
