Question
There is a room in the synagogue with a restroom that apparently has never been used, and it has a sink. Now they want to decommission the restroom and seal it. Can Kohanim enter this room with tefillin to wash their hands for the Priestly Blessing?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Since it was not used as a restroom, it is permitted.
