Entering the toilet

ٱللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ ٱلْخُبُثِ وَٱلْخَبَائِثِ

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-khubuthi wal-khaba'ith

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from male and female unclean spirits.

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 142; Sahih Muslim 375

What this supplication is

The private places carry their own remembrance — seeking refuge from harmful spirits before entering. It is among the few supplications the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught for the most private moment of daily life.

When to recite it

Before entering the toilet (or similar private places).

Duas are a mercy in themselves — sincerity of heart matters more than eloquence. For a personal religious ruling about this supplication or your circumstances, consult a qualified scholar.
