Urinating in the bathtub
Question: 4026
Is urinating in the bathtub when
having a shower included in the hadeeth that forbids urinating in the place where a person
washes himself or is it not, because the water is draining out of the tub?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen,
may Allaah preserve him, who replied as follows:
“No, this is not included in that hadeeth, because if he urinates,
he can pour water over it and the urine will be removed, but he should not start taking
his shower until the urine has been removed by pouring water over it.”
Question:
This urination is happening during the shower.
Answer:
Usually there is another place for urinating, but if it happens that a
person needs to urinate whilst he is having a shower, he should stop washing himself until
he has urinated and washed away the urine. And Allaah knows best.
