Relieving oneself in large bodies of water, such as seas

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to relieve oneself in a large body of water, such as the 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, that is not permissible.
