Relieving oneself in large bodies of water, such as seas

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. Is it permissible to relieve oneself in large bodies of water, such as seas?

Answer:
It is not permissible except in cases of dire necessity, if a person is unable to get out of the sea. As for intentionally going to the sea to defecate in it, or going to a river to do so, this is not permissible.
