Is it permissible for us to speak or converse with others inside the restrooms, given that we perform certain tasks inside these restrooms, such as washing clothes, due to our circumstances?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : They have another question, O honorable Shaykh. The sisters from the Kingdom of Morocco, in the south of the Kingdom of Morocco, ask: Is it permissible for us to speak or converse with others inside the restrooms, given that we perform certain tasks inside these restrooms, such as washing clothes, due to our circumstances? I hope you will provide us with guidance?
The Shaykh : There is no blame on a person for speaking inside the restrooms if he is not in the process of relieving himself. However, if he is relieving himself and has uncovered his private parts, he should not converse.
Likewise, he should not speak the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), nor should he recite the Qur'an while in these places, because the Qur'an is too noble and exalted for a person to recite it in these places, which are sites of harm and filth. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
