The Ruling on Saying the Name of Allah in the Bathroom
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And from that, in the East, how does one pray at the beginning of the Prophethood if his arrival from Hudba is thwarted?
Answer:
There is no objection to saying the name of Allah in the bathroom, because saying the name is obligatory according to the position of Imam Ahmad and the apparent meaning of the hadith: "There is no wudu' for one who does not mention the name of Allah." He should mention it even if he is in the bathroom. The bathrooms today, which are the restrooms, are different from what they used to be. Previously, the toilets were places where impurity gathered in the spot where one relieved oneself, unlike now, where the impurity goes away with the water down the street, going with the sewage. So there is no prohibition in saying "Bismillah" because it is obligatory. It is a sunnah (recommended practice) of the wudu'. Yes.
