Is it permissible to mention Allah in the bathroom for one who has performed ablution, and is it prescribed for him to repeat the adhan if he hears it?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the one who performs ablution inside the bathroom have the right to mention Allah? And if he hears the mu'adhdhin, does he have the right to respond?

Answer:
As for responding to the mu'adhdhin, no. As for mentioning Allah, this is a matter for reflection. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . This means that he mentions Allah even if he is in the bathroom. And this is in the book of Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), who holds that he mentions Allah because this is among the obligations of ablution, even if he is in the bathroom.
