The wisdom behind the prohibition of praying in the bathroom

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Did the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mention the wisdom behind the prohibition of praying in the bathroom?

Answer:
They did not mention it, and Allah knows best, because it is not free from impurity, exposing the private parts, and other such matters. Yes.
