The ruling on saying the basmalah in the restroom when performing wudu
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The basmalah, Honorable Shaykh Salih, in the restroom for one who wants to perform wudu. Is it permissible for a person to do so?
Answer:
Yes, because the basmalah at the beginning of wudu is obligatory. So at the start of wudu, one says "Bismillah," acting in accordance with the hadithSunan Abi Dawud 102Sahih Maqtu' (Al-Albani). Restrooms today are different from the open latrines of the past, because restrooms are places for wudu and for washing, with the washing facilities on the walls separated from the latrines. This reduces the caution against mentioning the name of Allah in them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
