Is it permissible to say the name of Allah in the restroom, since most ablution areas are inside the bathroom?

The questioner : If you would be so kind, O Shaykh, is it permissible to say the name of Allah in the restroom, since most ablution areas are inside the bathroom?

The Shaykh : This is also a question that has become frequent in this time, because the method of construction is such that the toilet is in a room that contains the washbasin where the Muslim performs ablution, and the shower where he bathes. So, does he say the name of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) when he stands to perform ablution? Or rather, does he say the name of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) when he enters or stands to relieve himself?
This is a matter about which scholars are often asked, and the answer is: it is necessary to do both of the following:
When he stands to relieve himself on this toilet in that room, which contains the washbasin and other things as we mentioned, he must say the name of Allah and seek refuge in Allah from Satan, as is established in the authentic hadiths. But when?
He does this when he stands to relieve himself, before he is compelled to uncover his private parts. He says: Then he lowers his clothes and sits to relieve himself. When he is finished with that and pulls his clothes to him and walks, even if it is only one step, toward the washbasin or toward the shower, he says what is established in the authentic hadith: By doing so, he has left the place of relieving himself.
And this answer is derived from considering how the earliest generations in Madinah were, where there were no latrines in their houses. How did they relieve themselves, even the women among them?
They would go out to the open desert, far from the houses and buildings, to a low-lying place called "al-Gha'it", meaning: the low place. There, there were no buildings, no latrine for the one who wanted to relieve himself to stand on. So, when does this person who went out to the desert to relieve himself in a low-lying place of the earth, as I said earlier, say it? Before he removes his clothes, he says: Then, when he pulls his clothes to him and walks a step away from the place where he relieved himself, he says: If we remember this picture, it will be easy for you to understand the ruling on the new situation, where in one place there is the toilet and there is the ablution area. The one who said the name of Allah before removing his clothes did not mention Allah in the toilet, meaning: during the act of relieving himself. Likewise, when he relieved himself, pulled his clothes to him, and said: he did not mention Allah in the toilet. So, when he walks a step or two, depending on the distance of the washbasin where he performs ablution from the toilet, he says there: "In the name of Allah" and begins to perform ablution.
And now we say, and you have heard the call to prayer, by the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): .
A story that fits the occasion, which was narrated by Imam Muslim.
So they came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and a sum of that money was gathered among them, so he gave it and presented it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) for those Bedouins, and Allah relieved their distress. And it came in the authentic hadith: Perhaps you will respond to such an admonition, which I have not been accustomed to, but I have only narrated it to you from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), quoted from the Sahih of Imam Muslim.
