In French, "ablution" means hygienic body washing. Misleading. Purification is a secondary meaning.

Wikipedia says that that there's Ablution in Islam, Christianity and Judaism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ablution and worship sites usually have an area set aside for this. Islam: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ablution_area_inside_Eastern_wall_of_Badshahi_mosque.JPG Judaism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_washing_in_Judaism#mediaviewer/File:Ramban_Synagogue_IMG_0027.JPG I would like to tag it as amenity=ablution for a stand alone facility as pictured above or ablution=yes if a toilet has facilities specifically for performing ablution.
