Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : May Allah reward you. In some mosques, the restroom is inside the mosque.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... the restroom ... .
The Shaykh : If the mosque was built before the restroom was installed, it is not permissible to install it in the mosque. However, if the original design of the mosque included placing restrooms in that location, there is no harm; one should refer to the original design.
