Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It has been said that one should not say Bismillah when entering the toilet, because the toilet is not a place for seeking blessing, and what has been reported regarding this is weak. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
The one who said that is the weak one; the one who said this is the weak one. That is, we leave the hadiths and go to statements like this. This statement is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says Bismillah, and you say do not say Bismillah. Who says this? Yes.
