The Basmala in the Restroom

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Basmala in the Restroom. The questioner says: Shaykh,

Answer:
Yes, he says the Basmala if he intends to perform wudu (ablution); because saying the Basmala at the beginning of wudu is obligatory, along with the remembrance of Allah. As for when he is not in the state of performing wudu, he remembers Allah in his heart and does not say it aloud, while he is in the restroom. Yes.
