The mention of Allah's name is among the obligatory acts of the ablution
Question: If a person is in the restroom and wants to perform the ablution for prayer, how should he say the Basmalah while in the restroom? And is the ablution valid without the Basmalah? Please inform us of the answer.
Answer: The mention of Allah's name at the beginning of the ablution is obligatory among the obligatory acts of the ablution according to the school of Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him)As he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 102Sahih Maqtu' (Al-Albani) , and although there is discussion regarding it, there are hadiths that support it and bear witness to it in general.
As for the majority of scholars, they hold that the mention of Allah's name in the ablution is recommended, not obligatory. In any case, the restroom is not a place for the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic); rather, the remembrance of Allah is forbidden in the places of relieving oneself, because these are filthy and despicable places. The name of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is honored and magnified such that it is not mentioned in inappropriate places. So, the one performing the ablution, if he wants to enter the bathroom,He says: should say "Bismillah" before entering, and this suffices him for the mention of Allah's name at the beginning of the ablution; indeed, it precedes it upon entry, and it suffices him, if Allah wills.
