Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Shaykh Salih, he has a long question that fills a whole page. To summarize this question: he suffers from much waswasah (whispers of doubt) when he enters the restroom, may Allah protect you, and he seeks guidance on how to rid himself of this affliction, may Allah grant you success.
Answer:
Remaining from the first question is the ruling on saying the name of Allah during ablution if one is performing ablution in the restroom? Yes. Regarding saying the name of Allah during ablution, those who hold it to be obligatory, such as Imam Ahmad, consider it one of the obligations of ablution. One should say it and not leave off an obligation, especially since the restrooms today are clean, yes, yes. And they generally contain no impurities; they are carried away with the water, washed away with the water. So, whoever holds that saying the name of Allah is obligatory in ablution should say it at the beginning of the ablution, even if he is inside the restroom; because saying the name of Allah is obligatory. As for those who hold that it is a recommended practice
