Blessing Opposite a Potty
Question
A child being weaned off diapers and the potty is in the kitchen. Is it permissible to recite a blessing when the potty is there, and is it permissible to bless when the child is there in an immodest state?
Answer
One should turn away during the blessing so as not to face the potty and the child, and also ensure there is no foul odor present.
