Question:
The questioner asks about the basmalah, Shaykh. If I am performing wudu' in the restrooms, what is the ruling for the one who wants to perform wudu'?
Answer:
Saying the basmalah in the place where one relieves oneself is not permissible, or rather it is disliked. However, if one is in the place of wudu' only, and the restrooms are in another place far away from it, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
