The ruling on relieving oneself in open ablution areas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe, regarding relieving oneself, specifically urinating, in ablution areas that lead to exposing the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered),
Answer:
he does not expose his 'awrah to people; he conceals himself from people behind a tree, a wall, or in any place, and relieves himself, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do when he wanted to relieve himself; he would go until he was concealed from people, (peace and blessings be upon him). And praise be to Allah, today there are covered places for relieving oneself, and they are numerous, so he uses them and conceals himself in them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
