When is the supplication for relieving oneself recited?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Now, suppose that place is fifty paces away from the house. When does this woman or that man, when he prepares to relieve himself, recite the prescribed supplication? Sunan an-Nasa'i 5505Sahih (Darussalam) When does he say it? Do you think when he starts walking the first step? The answer is no. The fifth step? The tenth step? The fifteenth? No, no, no; rather, it is the place where he decides to sit and relieve himself, here, before he takes off his clothes, whether he is a man or a woman, he says this supplication. And before this supplication, in some narrations that are hidden from many, we say "In the name of Allah," good; if he says Sahih Muslim 2716b, then he sits; so when he stands up, he comes to the final supplication, the closing supplication. When does he say "Your forgiveness"? When he puts on his clothes and takes the first step from that place where there is impurity, and he says "Your forgiveness"; now we have toilets in the same bathrooms, by this measure or larger, it is not the issue, so this place, what do you call it, the toilet, this place where the person sits, the European toilet, when he stands on it...
The questioner : Does he not remember Allah?
The Shaykh : No, it is not when he sits on it, but when he stands on it and starts to take off his clothes, before that he says:, he lifts his clothes and sits, do you understand how? And when he finishes, he stands, lowers his clothes, and says: , he walks a step to the washing area and says: for the sake of ablution, he remembers Allah when he said "In the name of Allah" in the toilet. This is not a toilet for excrement, because this is not excrement; is that clear?
The questioner : Yes, it is clear.
The questioner : The issue of the hadith regarding speaking other than dhikr while sitting on the ground.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : The issue of speaking other than dhikr...
The Shaykh : The previous speech.
The questioner : I told you that hadith is weak.
The Shaykh : That one is weak because they exposed their two private parts; as for the hadith prohibiting permissible speech in the toilet, there is no mention of it, it has no basis.
The questioner : So, we are done.
I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of the trials of life and death
أعوذ بالله من شر الخبث والخبائثFarwa' b. Naufal reported: I asked 'A'isha about the supplication that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made. She said that he used to say:" O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I have done and from the evil of what I have not done."
بسم الله اللهم إني أعوذ بك من شر الخبث والخبائثThe questioner : Does he not remember Allah?
The Shaykh : No, it is not when he sits on it, but when he stands on it and starts to take off his clothes, before that he says:
In the name of Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of the male and female devils
بسم الله أعوذ بك من شر الخبث والخبائثForgiveness is Yours
غفرانكIn the name of Allah
بسم اللهThe questioner : Yes, it is clear.
The questioner : The issue of the hadith regarding speaking other than dhikr while sitting on the ground.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : The issue of speaking other than dhikr...
The Shaykh : The previous speech.
The questioner : I told you that hadith is weak.
The Shaykh : That one is weak because they exposed their two private parts; as for the hadith prohibiting permissible speech in the toilet, there is no mention of it, it has no basis.
The questioner : So, we are done.
