304. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Mughaffal said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'None of you should urinate in his wash area for most of the insinuating thoughts[1] come from that.'" (Da'if)
Abu 'Abdullāh bin Mājah said: ("Abul-Hasan said: 'I heard Muhammad bin Yazid[2] saying:') "Ali bin Muhammad At-Tanāfisi said: 'This (prohibition) applies to cases where the ground (in the place used for washing) was soft. But nowadays this does not apply, because the baths you use now are built of plaster, Sāruj[3] and tar; so if a person urinates there then pours water over it, that clears it away, and that is fine.'"

Commentary
When all is said and done, it must still be considered a part of the manners and respect for the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet ﷺ that we avoid urinating in the wash area.
[1] i.e., doubts about whether the urine has touched him and made him impure.
[2] That is Ibn Mājah, being a statement from one of the manuscripts.
[3] A mixture of chalk and sand.
