Is it permissible to leave the restrooms in state-provided mosques open to serve the people?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Regarding the mosques provided by the state and maintained by the state, is it permissible to leave the restrooms in them open outside of prayer times to serve the people?

Answer:
No, because harms occur. Harms are happening, and the people of corruption and evil are exploiting them. Therefore, they are closed after the completion of the prayers and the end of people’s need for them for prayer, so that they do not become a shelter for corruption. Yes.
