The Ruling on the Remembrance of Allah in Bathrooms
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to remember Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in bathrooms in this sense?
Answer:
Yes, the name of Allah is mentioned during the ablution. One does not make the bathrooms a place for dhikr (remembrance of Allah), but if he intends to perform wudu (ablution), he says "Bismillah," because it is obligatory at the beginning of the ablution and the full ritual bath.
