Washing Hands at a Sink Inside a Restroom

Question

Hello.
I want to rent an office. I have seen several offices that could suit me, but in principle I prefer one of them in terms of convenience and price. The difference is about 150 shekels per month.
The problem is that there is only a sink inside the restroom. The question is whether, ideally, I should rent a place where there is an issue with washing hands.
And whether filling water through a hose or a bottle and washing outside is a sufficiently good solution.
Thank you very much!

Answer

Hello and blessings.

There is no need to spend more money on this; it is permitted to wash inside and dry your hands outside.

For a meal, one should wash outside.

You may fill a bottle and wash your hands outside, and all the more so it is possible to extend a hose into the outer room.
