What is the ruling on praying on the rooftops of bathrooms and latrines?

Question : There are two views regarding the rooftops of these places. One is that the ruling for them is the same as for the places themselves, because they are attached to them. The other is that the prayer is valid, because they are not a place where impurity is likely to be found, and the prohibition does not extend to them.

Answer : The correct view is that the prayer is valid on their rooftops, unless the rooftop is part of the place itself, such as if a room is built in a cemetery. In that case, the prayer is not valid in the room, nor on its rooftop, nor in the bathroom. And a bathroom is not a bathroom if a structure is built in it; in that case, the prayer is not valid in anything that enters it, even if it is on the rooftop. As for anything else, the correct view is that it is valid. For example, if we build a roof over a market, the prayer is valid in it. Or if we build a roof over a place for relieving oneself, a place for the bushes, but it is not connected to the bushes, as is found in some mosques now, there is no harm in that. It is like placing something pure on impure ground, in which case the prayer is valid. Yes.
