It is permissible to perform (ritual bathing) from (state of ritual impurity) and similar states in the bathrooms and restrooms belonging to the mosque, because they are not part of it. However, performing ghusl inside the mosque itself is not permissible, due to the violation of the sanctity of the mosque, which was built for the worship and remembrance of Allah, and because a person in a state of janabah is not allowed to stay in it, and for fear of polluting the mosque with impurities.
