Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A person stays in the bathroom for a long time, may Allah honor you, and constantly misses the prayer. Does he sin for this action?
Answer:
If this is not intentional on his part, but rather something that happens to him and he cannot prevent it, this is called waswas (whispers of Satan). He is required to try to make himself leave this waswas, perform wudu, and go out. He should accustom himself to this. He should seek refuge in Allah from Satan when he intends to enter to relieve himself or perform wudu. He should seek refuge in Allah from Satan. Yes.
