This is the same question that…
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible. It is known that water is available, and the questioner, whether male or female, can take the water and purify himself by performing ghusl (the full ritual bath) or wudu’ (the ablution for prayer). He can cover himself with a tree or a wall, or a tent or a curtain.
The presenter:
