Question:
I know you should not speak to someone from within a bathroom to someone outside. However, is it permissible to speak to another person in a bathroom? For example, in a public bathroom where there are urinal stalls - would it be permissible to talk to someone else?
Answer:
One should not speak in the bathroom unless there is a great necessity to do so.
