The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Do we say, for example, if a person defecates...
The Shaykh : If?
The questioner : If a person defecates in a place where people might see him, does this fall under the prohibition?
The Shaykh : I mean, do they see his private parts? His own?
The questioner : His own...
The Shaykh : If he does not harm them, no.
The questioner : He does not harm them.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : But it is not like the one on the path. We mentioned several types of harm regarding the path, so there must be consideration of the harm on the path, yes?
The questioner : Shaykh, if...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Does it fall under the prohibition...
The Shaykh : No, it appears that it does not fall under it, that it is not prohibited for him, because the hadith is restricted; it prohibits that except for need, as we mentioned a moment ago.
