Question

The halachic rule that in the bathroom one should not uncover more than a tefach behind and two tefachim in front, does this rule apply today when the room is closed on all sides?

Answer

In our times, the general rule is that it is permitted to uncover whatever is necessary to avoid getting dirty, and the rest should be covered.
