Is it permissible to recite the supplication for wudu' inside the bathroom?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible to recite the supplication for wudu' inside the bathroom? I mean, at the end of the wudu', saying "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," which is in the hadith, inside the place of relief?

The Shaykh : Your question is wrong, may Allah guide you. Do you perform wudu' inside the place of relief?

The questioner : No, after finishing the washing.

The Shaykh : I am telling you, your question is wrong. Do you perform wudu' in the place of relief? Say no.

The questioner : So, performing wudu' inside the place of relief is not permissible.

The Shaykh : Say no, may Allah guide you. Correct your question. What is it?

The questioner : I did not understand you.

The Shaykh : And I did not understand you. I am telling you, correct your question. Do you perform wudu' in the place of relief?

The questioner : Only in the washing.

The Shaykh : Do you perform ghusl in the place of relief?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : In the place of relief, in the bathroom.

The Shaykh: May Allah guide you.

The questioner : If Allah wills.

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. The bathroom is one thing, and the place of relief is another. Which one is your question about?

The questioner : Okay, please clarify the bathroom and the place of relief if you allow?

The Shaykh : The bathroom is the one that has a space of about two by two meters or three by three, with a washing area and a shower. That is the bathroom. As for the place of relief, it is the small, narrow place where one defecates or urinates. So, performing wudu' in this place is not permissible unless there is no wider place available that has the washing area and the shower. So, what do you mean by the bathroom?

The questioner : The first bathroom.

The Shaykh : The one with the shower.

The questioner : The one with a shower.

The Shaykh : Ah, so you name it that when you perform wudu', and likewise when you perform ghusl, and you recite the testimony after each of them. This is not wudu' in the toilet; no, this is in the bathroom.

The questioner : Ah, may Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : And may He reward you.

The questioner : ... O our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes, you asked a first question and we answered you. Then you asked a second question and we answered you. Then you wanted to ask a third question.

The questioner : Yes, and the line was cut off on me.

The Shaykh : No, I cut the line because you are a selfish man. You did not suffice with the answers to the first and second questions until you wanted to add a third one, and people like you behind the screens also have questions.

The questioner : Alright, I am sorry, my Shaykh. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
