Summary
Performing wudhu inside the toilet is permissible. The ruling is based on the hadith of Aisha describing the Prophet's ritual bath, in which he performed wudhu while bathing, indicating that wudhu in a bathroom is allowed. One should still be careful if there is a fear that impurities in the toilet may splash onto clothing or body. Separating the place of wudhu from the place of relieving oneself is also regarded as preferable in order to avoid differing opinions.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai penutup, kami nyatakan bahawa perbuatan berwuduk di dalam tandas adalah dibolehkan.
