Question
I have a question regarding wudu. I work in an office where the only place to perform wudu is the toilet area. Is it permissible to make wudu in the toilet area in this situation? Also, is it permissible to wipe over my shoes instead of removing my socks and shoes to wash my feet? It is a toilet and although it is kept very clean and tidy, I've been wiping my shoes as a precautionary measure because I don't want to step onto a naapaak area. Please advise me. ShukranAnswer

A place is considered clean unless there is visible uncleanliness. Therefore you may make wudhu at the place mentioned in your question.
It is not allowed to wipe over shoes unless they cover the ankles as in boots.
And only Allah Almighty knows best.
