Question
I have a room that only had a bathroom and toilet, as well as a sink and an entrance from it to the laundry room. I wanted to separate the entrance where the sink is from the rest of the room and built a form of a doorway beyond the sink at the entrance. Since then, we wash our hands there. Recently, someone brought to my attention that perhaps the form of the doorway does not help if there was already a toilet, and it is not possible to separate the entrance to the room from the rest of the room by adding the form of a doorway. Is this correct? If so, what should I do?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
The comment was incorrect. Even if there was already a toilet in the room, it is effective to separate with the form of a doorway. It is permitted to wash hands in the outer part of the room.
