Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: It was mentioned in the hadith of Abu Ayyub that they seek forgiveness from Allah. Does this indicate the permissibility of remembering Allah in the place of relief when relieving oneself?

Answer:
Yes, we said: If one forgets the dhikr upon entering, let him say it, even after entering. In fact, it is the apparent meaning of the hadith: "If one of you enters..." It is the apparent meaning of the hadith, and a group of scholars held this view. So if he forgets it, he says it, even after entering.
