The Ruling on Reciting in Bathrooms
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
You mentioned the statement of Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, excuse me, in al-Bukhari, that there is no harm in reciting in the bathroom. Are these the bathrooms we know as toilets, or the bathrooms used only for bathing?
The Shaykh:
The closer view, and Allah knows best, is that regarding the bathrooms where one exposes one's private parts and takes a full bath, if there is a place for relieving oneself in them, it is even more so. However, the weak opinion is that it is disliked if there is a place for relieving oneself in them. As for bathrooms used only for bathing, there is no harm, but in these, one might urinate in them, even...
The presenter:
No, yes, of course, for the prohibition and removal. And he is pure in appearance, he sniffs.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
