Jaabir
bin Abdullaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that a man passed by
the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) while he was urinating and greeted
him with the greeting of peace. Then the Messenger of Allaah said, “If you
see me in a situation like this, do not greet me with the greeting of peace,
because if you do that, I will not respond to you”[1]
Shaykh al-Albaanee
(may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The apparent meaning of this hadeeth is
that the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said that while urinating. So it
contains the proof of the permissibility of talking while using the toilet. As
regards the hadeeth reported that Allaah detests that; despite the fact that it
is not authentic from the angle of its chain, it is unclear concerning it. It was
reported with this wording: “No two men should talk to each other while
answering the call of nature and each of them looking at the awrah of his companion,
for Allaah abhors that.”[2]
This text
only indicates the prohibition of this state: that is, conversation and looking
at the awrah. It does not contain
evidence that conversation alone – even though it is distasteful - is among
that which Allaah blessed and exalted be He abhors. Rather, this requires a
proof that would necessitate its prohibition, and it is something we could not find. Unlike
the prohibition of looking at the awrah [of others], it is established in other
narrations.
