PERMISSIBILITY OF PERFORMING WUDU IN A COMBINED SHOWER/TOILET

The modern houses nowadays have a combined shower and the toilet, where the hand basin is also located. To answer this question, we have to acknowledge the fact that in olden days and even now in some villages the pit toilets are used. In these toilets, the human wastes remain in the pit. The place is impure and performing ghusl or wudu in such a place is not permitted.

However, in the combined shower and toilet in modern homes, we have the flush toilets, where the toilet disposes of human waste by using the force of water to flush it through a drainpipe to another location, thus making the place free of any impurities. The place becomes clean and pure, and it is permissible to perform wudu in a combined shower and toilet.
