If one forgets the supplication for the restroom, should he say it when he enters?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If he forgets and enters the restroom, and then remembers while inside, does he recite the supplication?
The Shaykh : It appears that if he forgets and sits down, the recommended practice (sunnah) has passed its time. Some people say that if he enters and forgets, he should go back and recite this dhikr, then enter a second time. However, what appears to be the case is that the recommended practice (sunnah) has passed its time. And Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, if He knows that he would have done it had it not been for the forgetfulness, He will protect him.
