Question:
What is the ruling on uttering the testimony of faith during ablution inside the restroom?
Answer:
The Sunnah is that when one finishes ablution, he testifies outside the bathroom; because there is no necessity to testify inside the bathroom. Rather, when he finishes, he goes out and then says:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 55Da'if (Darussalam), and it is disliked to say this inside.
As for the beginning of ablution, he should say the name of Allah, even if he is inside, saying: In the name of Allah, and then performing ablution; because he needs the invocation, and a group of scholars have made it obligatory along with the remembrance, so he should not leave it out. The dislike is removed when there is a need. As for the testimony of faith, there is no need to perform it while he is in the bathroom; rather, he goes out and then performs the testimony after that.
