The questioner : O Shaykh, we mentioned that on a wide road, it is permissible to relieve oneself in a place that people do not frequent.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes, but this involves some forms of harm, such as the smell and the unsightly appearance?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is what happens in the middle of the road, without a doubt. It does not fall under the hadith; it falls under general harm.
