Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person is inside the restrooms, does he say the name of Allah, and is there a difference between the toilets and the places for ablution?
Answer:
There is no harm in saying the name of Allah. As for ablution, he says the name of Allah, because in the place where one relieves oneself, he says the name of Allah at the beginning of the ablution. Likewise, if he is in a place of relief and it is not possible for him to perform ablution outside the bathroom, he says the name of Allah, because in this situation, the one in dire necessity has no choice, and there is no blame. The dislike is removed when the need is present; when the need is present, the dislike is removed. So he says the name of Allah at the beginning of his ablution, even if he is in the bathroom. Yes.
