Question

Dear Rabbi, is it permissible to enter the bathroom wearing tzitzit? Thank you very much.

Answer

Greetings,

It is permissible to enter the bathroom while wearing tzitzit, even if they are exposed. Those who are stringent not to enter with exposed tzitzit shall be blessed.

Sources: See Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 21:3) and Mishna Berura (s.v. 14) and Halacha Brurah (§6).

Best regards,

Hillel Meirs
