AL-KAFI #1855: HUKUM BUANG AIR KETIKA MANDI JANABAH
Does relieving oneself during a janabah bath invalidate it, and must it be repeated?
Short answer
Urinating or defecating during the janabah bath is permitted and does not invalidate the bath, so it need not be repeated.

Summary
Urinating or defecating during the janabah bath is permitted and does not invalidate the bath, so it need not be repeated. However, the bath does not lift the minor hadath that occurs while it is being performed, so the person must perform wudu before praying. If nothing that nullifies wudu occurs during the bath, the minor hadath is also lifted and the person may pray without wudu.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum buang air kecil atau besar ketika mandi junub adalah dibolehkan dan tidak membatalkan mandi tersebut.
