Is My Ghusl Accepted if There is a Toilet in the Same Room?
Answered by Mawlana Ilyas Patel
Question
I’m now on vacation, and I can stay at two houses with my parents or my uncle’s house, but a woman did magic in my uncle’s house. I don’t know if that woman did it to me. She said that she did it in the toilet. I’m also afraid the person left a piece of magic paper in the house.
Also, my parent’s house has a bathroom where you can do ghusl. By the way, I have a shower cubicle, but there is a toilet in the same bathroom, so I wonder if my ghusl will be accepted. My question is, in which house can I pray, my uncle’s or my parents?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
I pray you are in good faith and health. Thank you for your question.
You can pray and use the toilets in both. However, if one of the houses creates doubt and misgiving, avoid using the bathroom and praying there.
Also, your ghusl will be accepted even though a bathroom is in the same room.
A place is considered clean if there is no visible uncleanliness. Therefore, you may make wudu at the site mentioned in your question. The flow of water purifies anything it passes over, as long as there isn’t any visible impurity.
