Relieving oneself in ablution areas with the exposure of the awrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Abdullah from Riyadh asks about the ruling, Honorable Shaykh, on relieving oneself in ablution areas, which leads to the exposure of the awrah?

Answer:
No, do not expose the awrah. When a person wants to relieve himself, he should conceal himself from people. Either by a wall, or by a tree, or by a place prepared for relieving oneself, such as bathrooms and restrooms. The person covers his awrah. If he wants to perform istinja' (cleaning oneself after relieving oneself), it is the same. He conceals himself from people and performs istinja' behind a barrier and behind a covering. He does not expose his awrah in front of people. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
