Is It Prohibited to Eat in the Bathroom?
It is not appropriate for the Muslim to enter the bathroom except for the purpose of relieving himself, and when he enters the bathroom he should refrain from eating and drinking until he comes out.84,287Preventing Breaking Wind to Avoid Invalidating Wudu
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Do not pray when food is ready or when you are trying to stop yourself from doing either of the two things that invalidate Wudu (i.e., urination and defecation).” So, everything that may distract a person, keep him from being properly focused in his prayer, or worry him, should be dealt with before he starts to pray.60,188Entering the Bathroom with a Mus-haf
1. Taking the Mus-haf into bathrooms and other unclean places is forbidden because that is disrespectful towards the Words of Allah. If one fears that the Mus-haf may be stolen, then they can take it into the bathroom. 2. It is permissible to take tapes of the Quran into the bathroom.15,599How Did the Prophet Clean Himself after Relieving Himself?
1. Prophet Muhammad was economical in his use of water when purifying himself; he would not use too much of it to the extent that he would do Wudu with a Mudd of water. 2. If the Prophet needed to clean himself after relieving himself, or to remove any filth, he would do that directly with his left hand. 3. When the Prophet came out of the place where he went to relieve himself, he would rub his hand on the ground, as noted in the Hadith of Maymunah, then he would “wash his private parts. Then he rubbed his hand on the ground.”15,758Is Speaking in the Bathroom Haram?
1- Whilst relieving yourself, it is disliked to speak in the bathroom. 2- If closing the bathroom door is for concealing the ‘awrah, then it is obligatory to close it. 3- If there is no one inside the bathroom, then turning on the light is closer to extravagance and wasting money unnecessarily.42,614Should he use his left hand or part of it when cleaning himself after relieving oneself?
31,395He was not sure whether his garment had become impure (najis) after urinating
69,434Is it Sunnah to cover the head when going to the toilet?
99,113Praying with tayammum is better than praying with a previous wudoo’ done using water when one is desperate to relieve oneself
