The Ruling on Urinating in Wall-Mounted Urinals in Public Places
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In some public places, there are wall-mounted urinals for relieving oneself, which prevent the splashing of urine. Some are located in enclosed restrooms, while others are in front of people, with the 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered) shielded by small partitions. Is it permissible to urinate in both types?
Answer:
It is permissible, but it is better, indeed it is better, to enter the enclosed places. If the places are narrow and only these wall-mounted ones are available, there is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing wrong with urinating in them. Generally, they are installed for those who wear trousers, as they cannot sit down without difficulty, and they are provided for them. Yes.
