DonateMust one urinate in private with a closed door?[1]
From the letter of the law, there is no need to be particular about urinating in private with a closed door.[2] Practically however when one is able to urinate in private, in closed doors, he should do so. Thus those that build bathrooms with urinals should place a ledge between the urinals for privacy purposes, and if one has the ability to urinate in a closed stall then he should do so rather than by a urinal, and certainly rather than do so outside.
