Q: A person has a bathroom with a sink, shower, etc. The toilet is enclosed in a shower door type enclosure. So the rest of the bathroom is not considered the toilet.

Not in the toilet, but in the rest of the bathroom.

Q: I would like to know what is the provision of using the loudspeakers in Islam.

Is this allowed according to the shariat?

Q: I would like to ask you a question regarding Islamic law, connected with my PhD research. My research is about a Jewish man who became a Christian in Venice in 1595. From the years 1574-1593 he worked as the 3rd physician at the court of Sultan Murat iii in Istanbul. In the year 1580/ Islamic year 999 he accompanied the Valide Sultan to Medina and Mecca. Was it at that time possible that a Jewish physician visited Mecca, because he was the physician of the Valide Sultan? Or was it at that time for him already obligatory to revert to Islam in order to visit Mecca?
