The Basmalah before the supplication for the place of relief
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on reciting the Basmalah before the supplication for the place of relief when one intends to enter it?
Answer:
Yes. The place of relief is divided into two parts: the place for ablution, which includes the water used for performing wudu, and the place for relieving oneself, which is the private interior. As for saying "Bismillah" during ablution, there is nothing wrong with it, because it is not the place for relieving oneself, even if it is a facility or close to the place for relieving oneself. However, one should say the Basmalah, because it is obligatory to say the Basmalah for wudu.
