What is the ruling on one who urinates inside their room at night due to fear of going to the bathroom?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Islam has urged cleanliness, purity, and avoidance of impurities. Therefore, it is not appropriate, nor is it permissible, to intentionally urinate inside a room, as this would defile it, unless there is a religious justification such as fear or the like. In this latter case, a receptacle should be used for urination.
